Postdoctoral Researcher - Physics

The Department of Physics at the University of Dayton is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in the area of Tissue Optics. Strong candidates will have research backgrounds in both academic and non-academic settings, involving design, building, and validation/testing of tissue optical spectroscopy and/or imaging equipment, as well as computational modeling of the interaction of light with biological tissue.

Duties of the position will include designing optical spectroscopic imaging technology, using numerical simulation and machine learning tools to extract diagnostically-relevant physiological parameters from tissue-optics data, working with students to compare results obtained from different devices and models, and helping to design clinical studies to test the technology in healthy volunteers and patients.

*Doctoral degree in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering with focus on Optics, or related field (completion of degree requirements expected at hire)
*Demonstrable publishing record
*Fluent English writing and communication skills

While not everyone may possess all of the preferred qualifications, the ideal candidate will bring many of the following:

*Significant experience designing, fabricating, and measuring the optical properties of tissue-simulating materials
*Significant experience designing optical instrumentation
*Experience using machine learning tools to inform optical technology development

To apply please submit a cover letter addressing each minimum qualification and any applicable preferred qualifications that you meet.

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. The University does not provide work visa sponsorship for this position.
