Purdue University Cytometry Laboratories

The Purdue University Cytometry Laboratories (PUCL) is an interdisciplinary center within the Bindley Bioscience Center at Purdue University. The center has a well established program in cellular analysis covering basic and advanced imaging, image processing, pattern classification, and biomedical engineering for design and testing of next-generation cytometry technologies. The facility has a significant resource of instruments, including several confocal and multiphoton, Raman confocal, and AFM systems, analytical and sorting flow cytometers, multispectral cytometers and image systems, small-animal imaging systems, and an array of other analytical tools.

We seek several postdoctoral fellows to participate in various components of our research program. The ideal candidates will have recently completed their PhD program or have already done some postdoctoral study.

A background in image processing and pattern recognition is required. Good programming skills in Matlab is a must. Knowledge of C and C++ is a plus. The candidates should be motivated to learn new topics pertaining to biological applications of image processing and pattern recognition techniques.

Those participating in this program will:

• Search and find algorithms that are applicable to biological events.
• Develop new algorithms for the same above purpose.
• Implement these already existing or developed algorithms for biological image processing and classification.
• Implement these algorithms in Matlab first and move on to usage of faster programming environments.
• Package all the tools that are developed into a usable software application.

Interested candidates should fill this brief questionnaire here.
