Postdoctoral Research Associate in Translational Neuroimaging, Glioblastoma, and Multimodal Optical Imaging
Postdoctoral Research Associate opening in the Translational Neuroimaging Lab at the
University of Oklahoma
in Norman, USA. This is a
fully funded NIH COBRE
position focused on
glioblastoma (GBM)
, neuro-oncology, and advanced
multimodal optical neuroimaging
.
The project investigates why GBM resists treatment and how to improve therapeutic response using a cutting-edge imaging platform that combines
three-photon microscopy (3PM)
,
optical coherence tomography (OCT)
, and
laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI)
. The postdoc will lead preclinical imaging studies in
mouse models
of brain cancer, tracking tumor cells, immune cells, vascular dynamics, and oxygenation across the tumor microenvironment. The work also integrates
spatial transcriptomics
and
machine learning
to predict treatment outcomes.
Eligibility highlights include a
PhD in biomedical engineering, biology, physics, neuroscience, or a related field
, plus experience with
in vivo mouse models of cancer
. Experience with optical imaging or instrumentation is a strong advantage. The position offers training in advanced multiphoton microscopy, image analysis, scientific/engineering research, and professional development, including grant-writing workshops.
Funding details: salary is
$55,000–$77,076
depending on experience. The appointment is described as a
1-year postdoc
that may be renewed by mutual agreement. The intended start date is
Summer 2026
.
How to apply: email your
CV
,
cover letter
, and
2 references
to
[email protected]
. The post indicates that applications are reviewed immediately, so early submission is recommended.
Relevant research keywords: brain cancer, glioblastoma, optical neuroimaging, multiphoton microscopy, translational neuroscience, biomedical imaging, neuro-oncology, machine learning.
