Clinical Fellowship, Post-doctoral Fellowship, or Junior Research Specialist Position: Translational Research in Upper Airway Biophotonics and Biomedical Engineering in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the University of California, Irvine- July 2012 thru June 2013.
The Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery has positions available to support motivated individuals interested in translational research for optical imaging within the head, neck, and upper airway. The positions are supported in part by NIH grants and focus on novel applications of optical diagnostic technologies in the management of the head, neck and upper airway disease. The scope of work will include participation in design and execution of research protocols, including patient contact, focused on imaging the pediatric airway at University of California, Irvine Medical Center and the Childrens Hospital of Orange County.
The candidate will also be expected to work closely with biophotonics researchers at the prestigious Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic on the main campus of UC Irvine in Irvine, California. The position requires a broad range of skills including minimally invasive clinical imaging, surgical endoscopy, computer image analysis and processing, as well as management of a large clinical database. Solid communication and interpersonal skills are important as the research and clinical team represent a diverse group of individuals.
Academic position and salary is commensurate with experience. The fellow/specialist will be expected to participate in the didactic curriculum (grand rounds, teaching conferences) within the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery and will interact extensively with clinical faculty, residents and clinical fellows. The applicant ideally possesses an MD, MD/PhD or equivalent. Positions may be available to medical students with sufficient background and training interested in spending a research year prior to graduation. Eligibility for medical licensure in the state of California is highly desirable. Applicants must have superb command of both written and spoken English.
Interested applicants should contact Dr. Brian J.F. Wong [email protected] and send a detailed CV including at least three references and contact information. Select applicants will be first evaluated via SKYPE, and then possibly through an in person interview. Preference will be given to applicants who are eligible for a California state medical license and U.S. citizens/residents. This is not an ACGME approved clinical residency position.
