All Candidates

Position Designation:

Post Doc

Employment Type:

Pay Rate:

47,476

Minimum Experience/Education:

Departmental Preferred Experience, Skills, Training/Education::

1. A PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a relevant field.

3. Experience in medical ultrasound imaging is preferred. Background in signal and image processing, machine learning, deep learning, image reconstruction will be helpful.
4. Proficiency in programming languages (e.g., MATLAB).

Duties and Responsibilities:

A Postdoctoral Fellow (""postdoc"") is a professional apprenticeship designed to provide recent Ph.D. recipients with an opportunity to develop further the research skills acquired in their doctoral programs or to learn new research techniques, in preparation for an academic or research career. In the process of further developing their own research skills, it is expected that Postdoctoral Fellows will also play a significant role in the performance of research at the University and augment the role of graduate faculty in providing research instruction to graduate students. A Postdoctoral Fellow works under the supervision of a regular faculty member, who serves as a mentor to the Fellow, and it is expected that the faculty mentor will impart the realities, and variety, of scientific careers, and will encourage experiences outside the laboratory to broaden postdocs’ aspirations. Within the confines of the particular research focus assigned by that faculty member, the Postdoctoral Fellow functions with a considerable degree of independence and has the freedom (and is expected) to publish the results of his or her research or scholarship during the period of appointment. Thus, the role of Postdoctoral Fellows is clearly differentiated from full-time technical employees.

Postdoc appointments are characterized by all of the following conditions:

* the appointee was recently (within the last eight years) awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (e.g., Sc.D., M.D.);
* the appointment is temporary;
* the appointment involves substantially full-time research or scholarship;
* the appointment is viewed as preparatory for a full-time academic and/or research career;
* the appointee works under the supervision of a faculty member; and
* the appointee has the freedom and is expected to publish the results of his or her research or scholarship during the period of appointment.

As an EOE/AA employer and an ADVANCE Institution that strives to create an academic climate in which the dignity of all individuals is respected and maintained, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte encourages applications from all underrepresented groups. Applicants subject to criminal background check.

Other Work/Responsibilities:

Dr. Farah Deeba invites applicants for a Postdoctoral Fellow position to work at the Medical Ultrasound Imaging lab within the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at University of North Carolina Charlotte. The selected fellow will contribute to a Wellcome Leap funded project to develop quantitative ultrasound-based biomarkers of placental function and fetal wellbeing for the early prediction of stillbirth, in collaboration with University of British Columbia. The activities of the fellow include implementation and optimization of quantitative ultrasound algorithms in different ultrasound systems, optimization of quantitative ultrasound for in utero organ (placenta, fetal organs) characterization, data acquisition (tissue mimicking phantoms, ex vivo tissue), development of advanced image processing and analysis algorithms (ultrasound image segmentation, multimodality image registration, pathology image segmentation and classification), and development and improvement of quantitative ultrasound algorithms. The fellow is expected to communicate his/her results through publications in scientific journals and presentations at professional meetings.
