St Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s newly launched Department of Imaging Sciences is seeking Faculty Member applicants at the Assistant, Associate and Full level. Chaired by Elizabeth M. C.

New institutional programs focusing on data-science and data-driven discovery combine with extensive shared facilities for optical and electron microscopy, clinical imaging, sequencing and spatial-omics to make St Jude the kind of environment where rapid progress can be made in a highly collegial, collaborative and motivating environment.
The Department of Imaging Sciences is interested in broad areas of imaging, including multi-omics technologies, structural and functional microscopy, multi-modal and meso-scale imaging, clinical imaging innovations ranging from histopathology to whole-body imaging, tracer / indicator development, wearables and quantification of behavior.

Applicants should be highly collaborative and committed to pursuing impactful applications of their approaches, while also driving their widespread adoption. To facilitate technology transfer, the Department of Imaging Sciences is establishing shared resources including an Advanced Instrumentation and Fabrication Core, a Biomedical Testing and Sample Preparation Support core, a Data Analytics Support core, and a Productization and Dissemination Core that will provide hands-on support to guide technologies towards having their highest impact both locally and globally.
The Department of Imaging Sciences plans to recruit 10 faculty (at all levels) over the next 5 years.
