Postdoctoral Fellow Positions

Fall 2021

One NIH-funded postdoctoral position is open in Sava Sakadzic’s group, located at the A. A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, to conduct preclinical studies on cortical and retinal oxygen delivery and consumption.

We are seeking highly motivated researchers with a desire to begin an independent career related to or involving neuroimaging. The successful candidates will have a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, medical physics, neuroscience, or equivalent degree. However, we will consider exceptional candidates of any scientific background. Please see the detailed description of the job position 3173234 at

Please email Sava Sakadzic (sava.sakadzic@mgh.harvard.edu) a cover letter describing research interests and experience, and updated curriculum vitae and contact information of three references.

 

Research Assistant Positions

Fall 2021

One NIH-funded Research Assistant position is open in Sava Sakadzic’s group, located at the A. A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. This position will support the projects developing a novel optical microscopy technology and studying cerebral physiology and pathophysiology. The individual will work closely with experts in the fields of optical imaging specifically and functional neuroimaging broadly. This position will provide excellent exposure to preclinical state of-the-art optical imaging instrumentation and the field of biomedical optics in general. The individual in this role will help to perform measurements of oxygen delivery and consumption on microscopic scales in preclinical animal models, analyze the data, and maintain and improve multimodal microscopy instrumentation. The Optics Group routinely performs measurements in small animals. Please see the detailed description of the job position 3173235 at

January 8, 2021

A Research Assistant position is now open in Mari Franceschini’s group at the Martinos Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston Ma.
We are  looking for a post-bachelor or post-master student interested in clinical research, monitoring of patients in critical care settings, use of near-infrared spectroscopy methods, and co-registration with other physiology and neuroimaging technologies.
The RA will have an opportunity to work on our ongoing studies using DCS and NIRS and fNIRS technologies. The RA will assist with data collection, data analysis, help conduct instrument testing and also help with IRB documentation. Preference will be given to applicants with an engineering or physical science background. If interested, please send a detailed resume and cover letter describing career goals and your connection with optical imaging research to
mfranceschini at mgh.harvard.edu.
We encourage applications from people in all diversity groups.

 

Students

The Center offers  opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students in engineering, physics, neuroscience and biological sciences to conduct research in a multidisciplinary environment.

Research areas include fNIRS, DCS, OCT, and microscopy. Research projects span the spectrum from basic biological research, the development of cutting edge technologies, and early stage clinical studies. Based on the research interest  students should contact the appropriate Optics faculty member.
