Job Description
NIH T32 - Stanford Molecular Imaging Scholars (SMIS) Program
Program Director: Craig Levin, PhD, Professor of Radiology
The Stanford Molecular Imaging Scholars (SMIS) program is an integrated, 3-year cross- disciplinary postdoctoral training program at Stanford University that brings together 28 faculty mentors from 13 departments in the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Humanities and Sciences. Molecular imaging (MI), a noninvasive technique to visualize and quantify specific molecular and biochemical processes in living organisms, has revolutionized medicine and biomedical research, and continues to expand its applications in the detection, treatment, and management of cancer.
SMIS faculty mentors, and extensive resources, provide a rich and diverse training environment spanning fields such as biology, physics, mathematics, biocomputations/biomedical informatics, engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, cancer biology, immunology, and medical sciences. The centerpiece of the SMIS program is the opportunity for trainees (with PhD, MD, or MD/PhD degrees) to conduct innovative molecular imaging research that is co-mentored by faculty in complementary research and clinical disciplines.SMIS trainees also engage in specialized coursework, seminars, national conferences, clinical rounds, including ethics training and the responsible conduct of research.
ELIGIBILITY:
1. Candidate must have an MD or PhD degree
2.Candidate must be a US citizen, or a non-citizen national, or must have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence and possess an Alien Registration Card (1-151 or 1-551) or some other verification of legal admission as a permanent resident.
