Postdoctoral Fellow - PET Radiochemistry​/Molecular Imaging

Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission:
Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research.

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Department of Translational Research & Cellular Therapeutics. This group is internationally recognized for its pioneering research in diabetes, immunology, stem cell biology, and cellular therapeutics. Our multidisciplinary research programs aim to translate scientific discoveries into innovative therapies that improve the lives of patients with diabetes and other chronic diseases.

You will join a multidisciplinary laboratory focused on developing novel PET imaging probes and radiopharmaceuticals for diabetes, immunology, and cancer. The current research being done in the lab includes radiochemistry, molecular imaging, cell-based studies, and preclinical PET/CT imaging to develop and evaluate targeted molecular imaging agents for translational research. You will work closely with investigators from multiple disciplines in a collaborative research environment and contribute to projects with strong translational potential.

• Develop and evaluate novel PET imaging probes or radiopharmaceuticals for diabetes, immunology, and cancer.
• Perform in vitro and in vivo studies to evaluate molecular imaging agents.
• Conduct cell culture, molecular biology, and small-animal PET/CT imaging studies as appropriate.
• Analyze experimental and imaging data and prepare manuscripts, grant applications, and scientific presentations.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary investigators to advance translational molecular imaging research.

• Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree in Chemistry, Radiochemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Molecular Imaging, or related field.
• Experience in one or more of the following areas: molecular imaging, radiochemistry, organic synthesis, cell biology, cell culture, molecular biology, immunology, or related biomedical research.
• Experience in PET radiochemistry or molecular imaging and/or preclinical imaging (PET/CT) and animal models is preferred.
• A strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals.

City of Hope is an equal opportunity employer.
