Postdoc in Geophysical and Medical Imaging

Geophysics Group, Los Alamos National Laboratory

We seek outstanding candidates for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position to conduct interdisciplinary research in geophysical and medical imaging. The successful candidate will develop novel acoustic- and elastic-wave imaging and inversion/tomography methods, and apply them to seismic data for subsurface characterization and monitoring, and to phantom and in vivo patient ultrasound data for cancer detection and characterization. Research will include development of novel imaging/inversion methods, implementation of the algorithms on super-computers, and applications to real data.

Minimum Job Requirements:
• Strong background in acoustic- and elastic-wave imaging/inversion or in numerical modeling of wave propagation.
• Proficiency in programming using Fortran/C.

Desired Skills:
• Hands-on experience in designing and conducting laboratory experiments, and experience in using Verasonics ultrasound data acquisition systems.
• Experience in parallel computing.
• Demonstrated ability to work creatively and independently and in a team environment.
• Demonstrated ability to plan and organize assignments to meet project deliverables.

Education: PhD in related field completed within the past five years or soon to be completed.
