We are seeking multiple postdocs to assist with multiple projects. The successful postdoctoral candidates will assist with transducer designs, optical system designs, clinical translation, soft robotics, beamforming, microscopic analyses, and deep learning applied to ultrasound and photoacoustic images. These projects will be completed in collaboration with physicians at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, enabling access to a strong cohort of patients who are prime candidates to participate in our final‑stage testing of the new technology.

Opportunities to engage in additional projects of mutual interest and relevance to the broader research mission of the PULSE Lab will also be available.

PhD degree in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, physics, or a related field; programming experience (e.g., MATLAB, Python, ROS); simulation experience (e.g., Monte Carlo, COMSOL); experience with hands‑on experimental procedures; familiarity with ultrasound or photoacoustic imaging; experience with pre‑clinical studies and/or patient‑focused research; verbal and written communication skills; desire and motivation to make an impact.
