"Tumor Oximetry: mapping oxygenation dynamics by 19F magnetic resonance"
will provide a post-doctoral position to pursue studies of tumor
oxygenation by 19F echo planar MRI for the next three years.
Preference will be given to applicants with a background in tumor biology,
histochemistry and physiology/biochemistry with a keen desire to develop
skills in in vivo biological NMR.
Background on the research may be found in the following selected publications:
