Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a 3 year fixed term contract position as a Postdoctoral Researcher with the School of Physics, National University of Ireland, Galway. We are looking for highly motivated researchers who wish to hone their knowledge of physics, engineering and/or software development to deliver new tools for clinical and pre-clinical investigation of the microcirculation.

Further details about the Tissue Optics and Microcirculation Imaging Group may be found at:http://tomi.nuigalway.ie/ or www.biophotonics.ul.ie

Job Description: The focus of this laboratory is to develop novel, non-invasive optical methods for in-vivo microcirculation imaging for applications including lung function, diabetes and cancer.
In this project novel optical methods will be investigated using optical coherence tomography (OCT), photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and similar techniques to examine and ultimately to make quantitative measurements of blood oxygenation. The experimental observations will be underpinned by modelling including Monte Carlo. 
The Tissue Optics and Microcirculation Imaging Group (TOMI) is part of a substantial Photonics Cluster at Galway, which includes the National Centre for Laser Applications, The Applied Optics Group, The Biophotonics Group among others. The group is well funded and benefits enormously from the on campus hospital and small animal facilities. TOMI is a key facility of the National Biophotonics and Imaging Platform (www.nbipireland.ie). 
Galway is a vibrant little city steeped in traditional music and song, surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty including Galway Bay, Connemara, The Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. 
Essential Skills
