We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow Chemist to join an interdisciplinary research team at the UCSD focused on advancing in vivo imaging. We are building a research program to develop and characterize molecules and formulations of fluorine-19 based imaging probes for in vivo cell tracking using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These probes will be applied to models of stem cell repair, immunology and cancer. This research is being conducted at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, which houses a state-of-the-art facility for multi-modal imaging, as well as extensive wet-lab resources. Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. and extensive training and experience in chemical synthesis and analytical measurements. Preferred candidates will have experience in fluorous chemistry, perfluorocarbon emulsion formulation, and experience with manipulating mammalian cell cultures. Moreover, the candidate should have strong scientific problem solving skills, ability to analyze and interpret experimental data, ability to communicate results in a concise manner both verbally and in writing, and have a solid track record of scientific achievement as documented by peer-reviewed scientific journal publications.
