The expected pay for this position is $60,000/year with potential for negotiation based on the qualifications and experience of the ideal candidate.

Position: The University of British Columbia (UBC) and BC Cancer Research Institute (BCCRI) are seeking a talented post-doctoral fellow to join us in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The research will take place in the Quantitative Radiomolecular Imaging & Therapy lab (Qurit.ca) under the guidance of Drs. Arman Rahmim and Carlos Uribe.

The fellow will work in collaboration with researchers, clinicians, and imaging experts from UBC, BCCRI, and our international institutional and industry partners. The fellow will work within our multidisciplinary team (medical physicists, engineers, nuclear medicine physicians, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, etc.) towards enabling precision theranostics radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPTs) via advanced computational oncology and pharmacokinetic modeling.

Our research team is multicultural and diverse, providing unique opportunities for our trainees and researchers to explore creative ideas in supportive environments. The clinical infrastructure includes multiple imaging scanners, including a long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET/CT scanner, aiming to push the limits of modern technology. The close connection with the clinical environment allows for translation of novel methods to cancer clinics in Canada (Vancouver, Victoria, and Kelowna) and beyond.

Requirements: The ideal candidate will have a PhD in computational modeling/oncology, systems biology, applied mathematics, nuclear medicine physics, or a related field. Prior experience in physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, computational oncology/biology, kinetic modeling, or advanced image processing is required. The candidate should be highly motivated, with a strong interest in research, curiosity, creativity, and good communication skills.

If you want to innovate and make a difference in cancer care, this is the right place for you. Apply today!

Application: Interested candidates should include a CV, a list of research topics and publications, and the names of three references. The review will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
