Post-Doc Fellowship in Computational Oncology and Theranostic

Vancouver, Canada

The initial appointment is for two years and will be extended based on performance (funding available for at least 3 years).

Position: The University of British Columbia (UBC) and BC Cancer Research Institute (BCCRI) are seeking a talented post-doctoral fellow to join us in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The research will take place in the Quantitative Radiomolecular Imaging & Therapy lab (Qurit.ca) under the guidance of Drs. Arman Rahmim and Carlos Uribe.

The fellow will work in collaboration with researchers, clinicians and imaging experts from UBC, BCCRI, and our international institutional and industry partners. The fellow will work within our multidisciplinary team (medical physicists, engineers, nuclear medicine physicians, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, …) towards the overall aim of enabling precision theranostics radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPTs) via advanced computational oncology and pharmacokinetic modeling.

Our research team is multicultural and diverse, and provides unique opportunities for our trainees and researchers to freely explore creative ideas in supportive environments. The clinical infrastructures include multiple imaging scanners, including a long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET/CT scanner, and aims to push the limits of modern technology. Moreover, the close connection with the clinical environment allows for translation of novel methods to our cancer clinics in Canada (Vancouver, Victoria, and Kelowna) and beyond.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in computational modeling/oncology, systems biology, applied mathematics, nuclear medicine physics, or a related field. Prior experience in at least one of the following is a requirement: physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, computational oncology/biology, kinetic modeling, advanced image processing. The candidate should be highly motivated with a strong interest and commitment to research. Curiosity and creativity with an aim towards independent research as well as good communication skills are also emphasized.
