Position Summary:
A position is available for a scientist at the Postdoctoral Research Associate level in the laboratory of Dr. Virginie Papadopoulou at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Housed jointly between the Departments of Radiology (https://www.med.unc.edu/radiology/ ) and Biomedical Engineering (https://bme.unc.edu/about/ ), the laboratory focuses on human performance and translational biomedical ultrasound research.
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will support research in biomedical ultrasound with a focus on human performance. The postdoctoral research scholar will be given the opportunity to advise graduate and undergraduate students in the lab, work with clinicians and physiology collaborators on funded projects, contribute to funding proposals and engage in additional projects of mutual interest and relevance to the laboratory's research vision.
This full-time position will involve working with a team as well as preparing papers, reports, and contributing to grants, and thus excellent writing and communication skills are required.
