Postdoctoral Associate

**Required Qualifications:** (as evidenced by an attached resume)

Doctoral Degree (or foreign equivalent) in Pharmacology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Bioengineering or a closely related field in hand by 3/31/2026. Experience in molecular imaging techniques, with emphasis in furthering radiopharmaceuticals (can include Antibodies, fragments, peptides, or small molecules, dependent on the target and use).

Preferred Qualifications:

The preferred candidate would be familiar with radiochemical characterization techniques appropriate for preclinical studies in vitro and in vivo (HPLC, DLS, SEC, ITLC, MALDI) as well as familiarity with antibody or peptide conjugation methods to allow facile radiolabeling with radiometals (can include: 89Zr or 177Lu or 161Tb, and/or 225Ac). Experience in running imaging (PET/SPECT/CT/Cherenkov) as well as therapy studies. Expertise in antibody drug conjugate development. Experience with unconventional imaging radionuclides such as 52Mn, 86Y as well as radioiodine's 124I and 131I would be a strong benefit to the lab.

Brief Description of Duties:

The Postdoctoral Associate will assist the Principal Investigator in the department of Radiology (https://renaissance.stonybrookmedicine.edu/radiology) and conduct preclinical research in the medicine and research translation building as part of the Stony Brook Cancer Center (https://cancer.stonybrookmedicine.edu/) . The lab focuses on the development of new radiopharmaceuticals in pancreatic and other rare cancers and using rational and synergistic therapy combinations to identify cell plasticity/senescence/resistance. The incumbent will also conduct cutting-edge radiopharmaceutical development research and ensure that all experiments are appropriately conducted following the policies and procedures of Stony Brook University..

• Conduct research experiments with new molecular imaging agents to assess new features of pancreatic cancer biology and others during therapy, in particular leverage novel radionuclides for multiplexed PET imaging where permissible.

• Collaborate with other members of the Stony Brook University and beyond to develop superior scientific models and world class translational radiopharmaceuticals.

• Collect and analyze biodistribution data, PET/CT images and therapy survival metrics, including periodical/literature search and utilizing specialized radiopharmaceutical development skills to determine ideal theranostic agents for clinical development.

• Participate/assist in manuscript writing for publication in scientific journals and/or presentations. Write fellowship grants to gain experience in NIH and private research funding mechanisms.

• Mentor new members of the lab and Cancer Center community on best practices in radiopharmaceutical development

• Lab maintenance, including equipment maintenance and ordering consumables with research support scientists as needed.
