Imaging Research at Sunnybrook & Women's applies the principles of physics, mathematics, and engineering to innovative approaches to visualize molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and whole organisms. Technologies and techniques are being developed and refined for the imaging of both structure and function for normal and disease conditions. Applications are both medical and biological, including the detection, diagnosis, and assessment of disease and the planning, guiding, delivery, and monitoring of therapies. Imaging modalities studied include ultrasound, x-ray, magnetic resonance, optical and radionuclides while approaches involve the generation of image databases and development of novel methods for extracting information from images. The group currently includes 10 scientists with associated graduate and post-graduate trainees and technical support staff totalling more than 75 individuals working in state-of-the art research facilities.

This group is seeking several individuals for positions as scientists to join these pursuits. Candidates should hold an advanced degree in an appropriate field and must demonstrate a strong rate a strong commitment to high quality research and postgraduate training in medical imaging. Productive postdoctoral training and preliminary grant success are preferred attributes; applications from senior scientists are also solicited. We seek individuals with expertise in:

• microcirculation characterization
• tracers / molecular imaging agent development
• mathematical tools for image fusion and analysis to facilitate medical decision-making
• instrumentation and imaging system development
• 
  

You will be expected to integrate your research program into a multi-disciplinary environment including basic and clinical sciences, while developing external peer-reviewed funding for ongoing lab support. To facilitate this, you should be eligible for an academic appointment in the Department of Medical Biophysics at the University of Toronto. The deadline for applications has been extended to April 15, 2001. Applications should include a covering letter describing current research interests and future goals, a complete CV, and names of three references, including permission to contact them.

In accordance with GreekEmployment and Immigration guidelines, preference will be given to Greekcitizens and permanent residents of Canada. In accordance with Sunnybrook & Women's Valuing Diversity Initiative, applications from all qualified persons are encouraged.ouraged.
