| Department Name: | Center for Molecular and Biomolecular Imaging, Duk |
| Position: | Postdoctoral Associate |
| Description: | Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research position in the optical spectroscopy group (http://www.chem.duke.edu/~wwarren) within the
Center for Molecular and Biomolecular Imaging at Duke University, to conduct studies on melanins in biological tissue.
The successful applicant will work in an interdisciplinary team of researchers to apply novel spectroscopic methods towards imaging different
types of melanin in skin. The research is geared towards transitioning new spectroscopic methods to medically relevant settings. The primary
application area is the study of dynamic pigment distribution in healthy tissue and developing melanomas, in order to aid characterization and
ultimately the diagnosis of this common and deadly form of skin cancer. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to be involved in all
stages of this project, from the basic development of new spectroscopic methods to the evaluation of clinical samples.
