Several research positions at the postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate level are available. In addition to those listed below, I am always looking for researchers interested in interdisciplinary work related to biomedical imaging, image analysis, and visualization. Please send applications to stim@uh.edu.
Postdoctoral Researchers
Candidates interested in part-time postdoctoral appointments in the following areas are also encouraged to apply.
Large-Scale Image Processing - Responsibilities will include developing fast methods for building models from multi-terabyte volumetric data sets. Candidates with a Ph.D. in the areas of computer science, computer engineering, or a related field are encouraged to apply. Preferred candidates will have experience in:
- High-performance (particularly GPU) computing
- C/C++ and CUDA programming
- Massive data sets (visualization, segmentation, etc.)
Visualization of Large Data Sets - Responsibilities will include visualization and data mining of terabyte-scale volumetric data sets. Candidates with a Ph.D. in the areas of computer science, computer engineering, or a related field are encouraged to apply. Preferred candidates will have a background in visualization or computer graphics and experience in:
- Visualization of complex 3D physical/biomedical data
- C/C++ and CUDA programming
High-throughput Microscopy - Responsibilities will include developing new instrumentation to optimize imaging speed. Candidates with a Ph.D. in the areas of mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field are encouraged to apply. Preferred candidates will have experience in:
- Optical engineering
- Automating imaging systems (control and data acquisition)
- 3D fluorescence imaging (confocal, multi-photon, SPIM, etc.)
Mid-Infrared Spectroscopic Imaging and Analysis - Responsibilities will include data collection and analysis of mid-infrared spectroscopic images, as well as working closely with collaborators at the University of Illinois and UIC. Candidates with a Ph.D. in the areas of biomedical imaging, electrical engineering, chemistry, or a related field are encouraged to apply. Preferred candidates will have experience in:
- Pattern recognition algorithms used in spectroscopy
- Automating imaging systems (control and data acquisition)
- Working with mid-infrared imaging systems
Undergraduate Researchers
We are also looking for undergraduates interested in exploring research topics in biomedical imaging. Undergraduates are expected to work closely with experienced researchers towards software development, publication, and public presentation of research results.
