Post-Doctoral Fellow

The Center for Precision Imaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital Martinos

Center/Harvard Medical School has openings for highly qualified individuals at the postdoctoral

level with strong imaging backgrounds to work on PET molecular imaging

projects. Our Center is at the forefront of personalized PET molecular imaging and we

are working to pioneer novel precision imaging and therapy approaches. We have a

long-standing interest in developing and translating targeted biological PET probes for

improved tumor characterization for personalizing cancer treatment and autoimmune

conditions. Over the past decade, we have produced many PET and optical imaging

probes for assessing immune system activation, receptor imaging, imaging of the tumor

microenvironment and interrogation of metabolome. Our group has led some of the first

efforts to diagnose therapeutic resistance through receptor imaging and feedback loop

signaling, monitor and predict the immune response in cancer immunotherapy and

utilize targeted imaging to determine effective therapy dosing, among others. These

efforts have led to two first-in-human imaging agents, most recently 68Ga-NOTA-hGZP

for imaging granzyme B, currently in open trials for clinical validation.

We are seeking candidates for a postdoctoral fellowship focusing on the applications of

PET imaging agents and targeted radiotherapeutics while working closely with a team

of experts in molecular cancer imaging, molecular biology, immuno-oncology,

interventional oncology, and radioligand therapy.

Successful candidate(s) should have a proven track record of continued achievement

and be self-motivated with a strong work ethic, a commitment to teamwork and

effective communication skills. If you are interested, please contact the CPI

sending email to umahmood@mgh.harvard.edu or applying here.

Background in small animal PET image acquisition and analysi

Basic radiometal labeling, kinetic modeling and/or working with animal

models. Prior experience in basic laboratory techniques such as cell culture, Western

blot, and immunofluorescence is preferred.

Minimum requirement is a PhD or MD.
