City of Hope·Duarte, California
Develop and evaluate novel PET imaging probes and radiopharmaceuticals for diabetes, immunology, and cancer. Conduct in vitro and in vivo studies, analyze imaging data, and collaborate with multidisciplinary investigators to advance translational research.
Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses.
Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research.
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Department of Translational Research & Cellular Therapeutics.
This group is internationally recognized for its pioneering research in diabetes, immunology, stem cell biology, and cellular therapeutics.
Our multidisciplinary research programs aim to translate scientific discoveries into innovative therapies that improve the lives of patients with diabetes and other chronic diseases.
You will join a multidisciplinary laboratory focused on developing novel PET imaging probes and radiopharmaceuticals for diabetes, immunology, and cancer.
The current research being done in the lab includes radiochemistry, molecular imaging, cell-based studies, and preclinical PET/CT imaging to develop and evaluate targeted molecular imaging agents for translational research.
You will work closely with investigators from multiple disciplines in a collaborative research environment and contribute to projects with strong translational potential.
As a successful candidate you will: · Develop and evaluate novel PET imaging probes or radiopharmaceuticals for diabetes, immunology, and cancer. · Perform in vitro and in vivo studies to evaluate molecular imaging agents. · Conduct cell culture, molecular biology, and small-animal PET/CT imaging studies as appropriate. · Analyze experimental and imaging data and prepare manuscripts, grant applications, and scientific presentations. · Collaborate with multidisciplinary investigators to advance translational molecular imaging research.
Requires a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree in Chemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related field. Candidates should have experience in molecular imaging, radiochemistry, or biomedical research and a strong peer-reviewed publication record.
Market context
In California, postdoctoral fellowships in PET radiochemistry and molecular imaging are typically driven by academic medical centers, research institutes, and translational imaging programs. These roles are competitive because they often expect a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent, hands-on molecular imaging or radiochemistry experience, and a strong peer-reviewed publication record. Review the AI-summarized requirements and benefits on this platform to save time, then tailor your application to highlight relevant publications, imaging methods, and any translational research experience.
