Careers
The BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute (BMEII) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking talented individuals for the following opportunities:
Available Positions:
Autonomous MRI Postdoctoral Fellow
The Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Institute (BMEII) at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to develop an autonomous MRI protocol for Dementia screening (building on the work in https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mri.2020.08.010) at 3T by implementing intelligent image acquisition, reconstruction, quantitative MRI and biomarker detection methods. The project will deploy these methods to image communities in S. Korea and beyond, especially in communities that lack local MR expertise. This is an excellent opportunity to conduct innovative imaging research as a member of a team of technical and clinical experts with access to state-of-the-art imaging equipment housed in the Hess Center for Science and Medicine.
Data Manager
The BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute (BMEII) at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking a Data Manager for the cardiovascular clinical trials core.
Postdoctoral Fellow in Radiochemistry
We seek a highly motivated, creative, and innovative postdoctoral fellow to join our team at the BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. We are specifically looking for a team member with a background in radiochemistry and an interest in nanomedicine.
Postdoctoral Fellow in Immunology
We seek a highly motivated, creative, and innovative postdoctoral fellow to join our team at the BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. We are specifically looking for a team member with a background in immunology and an interest in biomedical engineering and imaging.
Postdoctoral Position in Advanced Radial MRI
The BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on advanced radial MRI. The candidate will be working with Dr. Li Feng to develop GRASP (Golden-angle RAdial Sparse Parallel imaging)-based new techniques for rapid free-breathing quantitative MRI. We are also actively exploring the use of deep learning techniques for improving radial MRI and quantitative MRI.
Postdoctoral Fellow MR/PET Neuroimage Analysis
The Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Institute (BMEII) at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to perform quantitative image analysis on structural, diffusion and functional (task and resting state) brain MRI and as well as PET FDG brain imaging. The project is focused on the study the effect of human chronic stress exposure and its interactions with the immune and the cardiovascular system (NHLBI P01HL131478 shorturl.at/QR267; doi: 10.1001/jamacardio.2021.2530; doi: 10.1161/CIRCIMAGING.120.010931; doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(16)31714-7). This is an excellent opportunity to conduct innovative imaging research as a member of a team of technical and clinical experts with access to state-of-the-art imaging equipment housed in the Hess Center for Science and Medicine.
The individual will be mentored by Dr. Zahi Fayad, Director of BMEII, his team and his collaborators. The individual will have the opportunity to interact with and be mentored by a diverse team of well-established investigators with complementary expertise in neuroimaging, cardiovascular imaging, cardiology, psychiatry, psychology, immunology, engineering, imaging science, and neuroscience.
