Responsibilities & Requirements
Position Description: Several opportunities are converging at Stony Brook University.
We have four distinct, large (over 1000) patient populations:
1. A large group of patients with Alzheimer's Disease seen by our New York funded
Center for Excellence in Alzheimer's Disease (https://www.stonybrook.edu/patientcare/alzheimers).
2. A large population of world trade center first responders, who have been followed
for years.
3. A large number of healthy subjects in assisted living facilities who are volunteering
for research studies.
4. The Long Island State Veterans Home, which has a dedicated 55 inpatient dementia
unit.
In addition to the research opportunities provided by these patient populations, we
have existing and new imaging capabilities coming to Stony Brook. Particular strengths
of the institution are in fully quantitative PET imaging. The SBU PET Core consists
of three units (Facility for Experimental Radiopharmaceutical Manufacturing, PET Ex
Vivo Radiometabolite Laboratory and Center for Understanding Biology Using Imaging
Technology [CUBIT]). A key focus of the PET Core is to facilitate the use of PET
and PET/MRI technologies as research tools by providing support in radiochemistry,
PET data acquisition, data management and data analysis.
PET imaging resources at SBU include:
1. A hybrid PET/MRI scanner (Biograph mMR). The mMR is equipped with a Swiss Trace
Twilite system for direct arterial blood sampling and counting. Multidisciplinary
faculty and staff with expertise in the state of the art reconstruction methodology
and multimodal image acquisition and analysis provide support for studies performed
on the mMR.
2. The new Medical Research Translation (MART) Facility. The MART, to be completed
in 2018, is a 465,000 square foot building that will house a new imaging facility,
including a radiotracer chemistry laboratory for short-lived positron emitters with
an onsite 16 MeV GE Pet Trace cyclotron, a 100% research-dedicated CNS PET scanner,
cGMP 11C and 18F radiopharmaceutical laboratory, 11C research laboratory and organic
chemistry facilities. The MART research imaging instrumentation will include three
additional camera byas. The building is designed to bring together translational
scientists and clinicians to bring clinical problems into the laboratory for intense
study and basic science innovation to the clinic.
Imaging studies are facilitated through CUBIT core facility. The CUBIT team works
to ensure that PET and MRI images are transferred successfully to collective HIPAA-compliant
database, are vetted through quality control, and are processed and analyzed properly
through CUBIT's semi-automated image processing pipeline. This pipeline applies carefully
assessed scripts from available image processing packages or custom-written software.
Algorithms are written in MatLab, C++, and Python. All intermediate outputs of this
pipeline are available for viewing through a web-based interface for quality assurance
purposes. This web-based system allows CUBIT image technicians to examine, edit (if
needed), approve, and lock results (i.e., prevent them from being altered). It also
tracks all inputs, user comments, and software versions to ensure accountability for
all image-processing procedures. CUBIT provides both image analysis services and
education, based on researchers' needs.
We are seeking a qualified PET researcher to work with these resources and patient
populations. The position is 100% research with 100% salary support for 3 years and
50% thereafter. The successful candidate will collaborate with the clinicians, engineers
and statisticians, and CNS PET researchers.
Special Notes This is a tenure track position. FLSA Exempt position, not eligible for the overtime
provisions of the FLSA. Internal and external search to occur simultaneously. Anticipated Start Date: As soon as possible.
Application Procedure Those interested in this position should fill out an online Applicant Information Survey, submit a State Employment Application, cover letter and resume/CV to the departmental address or fax below.
