Job Description:
Position: Contrast agents and biosensors for medical imaging and image-guided therapy We are seeking a researcher focused on the development of imaging contrast agents or other biosensor approaches that are relevant to the understanding, diagnosis or treatment of disease processes. The research focus can involve imaging modalities such as MRI, PET, optical and ultrasound, and it may relate to multimodal imaging. The approaches employed should provide information related to the visualization and quantification of molecular and cellular events or aspects of the tissue microenvironment. The applicant must show strong evidence of research and scholarly achievement, and a proven capacity in mentoring and collaboration. The successful applicant will develop an internationally competitive research program and participate in graduate training through an academic appointment in the appropriate department at the University of Toronto (e.g. the Department of Medical Biophysics, or the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering). In addition to fostering local, national, and international collaborations, the successful applicant will be expected to collaborate with other SRI scientists, build complementary translational research capacity, and engage with Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre clinicians so as to enable short- and/or long-term clinical translation of their research, ultimately contributing to Sunnybrook’s strategic direction in Personalized and Precise Treatments, with a vision of inventing the future of healthcare. SRI has an outstanding capacity for the development of translational research programs across a range of clinical foci.
