Fall 2016 has been a whirlwind of activity! Dr. Paul Lee, who received his PhD in BME from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, has joined our lab as a Post-Doctoral Fellow. Patrick Ledwig, who received his undergraduate degree from University of Texas, Austin, has joined our lab as a Graduate Student. Welcome to them both!

Even more exciting news – we will soon be welcoming a new baby girl into the Buckley lab family! The Emory BME department threw a baby shower in HSRB to celebrate the imminent new arrival. Congratulations Erin!

We’ve had a busy summer so far full of exciting science!  Bharat Sanders, who graduated from Georgia Tech BME in May, has joined the lab as a research technician. Other new faces are Monali Shah, a GT BME undergraduate, and Simrill Smith, a Druid Hill high school junior, who are both doing summer research in the lab.   Welcome to all our new members!

We are searching for a new postdoctoral fellow! This opening is available ASAP for a candidate with a strong background in diffuse optics and translational clinical research.

Responsibilities: This postdoctoral research associate will contribute to projects that involve the development and translation of diffuse correlation spectroscopy/near infrared spectroscopy to the study of pediatric brain injury. The candidate is expected to be creative, self-motivated, and capable of working in a collaborative environment.

Qualifications: The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in one of the following disciplines: biomedical engineering, physics, electrical engineering, or a related field. The candidate must demonstrate an academic record of scientific excellence, independent research, and good writing and communication skills. Strong experimental skills and hands-on experience with optical systems are essential; experience in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) are preferred. Experience in programming such as MATLAB/C/C++ will be favorably considered.

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter and CV including the names of 3 references by email to Dr. Erin Buckley (erin.buckley@emory.edu) with “Postdoc Application” in the subject.
