  • Research relevant literature.

  • Keep detailed laboratory notebooks.

  • Provide written reports to grant sponsoring agencies.

  • Participate in group meetings.

Additional Responsibilities as needed:

  • Participate in the development of detectors based on silicon photomulitpliers.

  • Participate in the development of a time-of-flight PET camera.

What Is Required:

  • Ph.D. within the last 5 years in electrical engineering, physics, or related fields.

  • Experience in Intel/Altera FPGA development.

  • Experience in FPGA design and coding.

  • Experience with analog, digital, and high-speed design.

  • Experience with embedded system design and firmware development.
