JOB TITLE: Detector Scientist – PET Detector Physics
As a Detector Scientist – PET Detector Physics, you will join a multidisciplinary team to conduct research, development, and experimental validation of advanced detector technologies for next-generation Positron Emission Tomography imaging systems. This hands-on research and development role involves designing, building, testing, and characterizing laboratory prototypes to improve molecular imaging capabilities. You will investigate technologies involving scintillators, photosensors, detector electronics, and signal processing solutions while performing performance measurements for timing resolution, energy resolution, and sensitivity. Key responsibilities include executing feasibility studies, troubleshooting experimental setups, and analyzing scientific data. You must possess a Ph.D. and experience with radiation detection principles, scintillation detectors, and data acquisition systems. Proficiency in scientific programming using Python, MATLAB, or C/C++ is required to support the broader technology roadmap for medical imaging innovation.
Design, build, test, and characterize experimental detector systems and laboratory prototypes.
Conduct research and development on advanced PET detector technologies and radiation detection systems.
Perform performance measurements including timing resolution, energy resolution, and sensitivity.
Plan and execute feasibility studies, technology investigations, and simulations to assess detector performance.
Develop experimental methods, test configurations, and data acquisition approaches for detector research.
Analyze experimental data to identify performance limitations and recommend design improvements.
Support detector development throughout the product lifecycle from concept to manufacturing.
Document technical findings through scientific reports, presentations, publications, and invention disclosures.
What we're looking for
Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Nuclear Engineering, or a related experimental science or engineering discipline.
Minimum of one year of postdoctoral or post-Ph.D. research and development experience in PET, SPECT, radiation detector development, medical imaging, or a related field.
Strong understanding of radiation detection principles, detector physics, and experimental measurement techniques.
Hands-on experience designing, assembling, testing, and characterizing radiation detector systems in a laboratory or research environment.
Experience with scintillation detectors, photosensors, radiation detection instrumentation, and detector performance evaluation.
Experience with detector electronics, signal processing, data acquisition systems, and experimental measurement techniques.
Proficiency in scientific programming and data analysis using Python, MATLAB, C/C++, or similar tools.
