To support the research initiatives of the University. The Functional Lung Imaging Laboratory in the Department of Anesthesiology at UTMB is seeking a highly motivated Senior Research Scientist to contribute to research focused on understanding the early determinants of acute lung dysfunction and injury, particularly those associated with mechanical ventilation and systemic inflammation. Our laboratory utilizes advanced Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT) techniques. We are looking for a candidate interested in pursuing an independent academic career in lung functional imaging, involving both animal and human studies, and the acquisition of physiological measurements during experiments.
