Postdoctoral Researcher Chemical Imaging of Plant Biomass with Micro- and Nano-Raman Spectroscopy Job ID: UCB-013 Institution: Energy Biosciences Institute, Berkeley California Date Opened: 5/10/2008 Position Description: Development of computational tools for the analysis of chemical imaging data. Computational construction of three- dimensional maps of plant cell wall material from Raman spectroscopy measurements. Position Responsibilities: Development of algorithms to indentify chemical species from Raman spectroscopy measurements. Processing of data to generate two-dimensional images of chemical components in plant cell wall material. Use of tomographic methods to construct three-dimensional images. Development of maximum likelihood methods to extract information from weak spectroscopic data. Position Qualifications: Strong computational skills with experience in their practical application to imaging or complex data analysis. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in the analysis of spectroscopic data or imaging of biological samples. Experience with programming languages: C/C++ and scripting languages: Python/ Perl. Demonstrated publication record in the computational analysis of data and algorithm development. Ability to work in a team environment and good communication skills. Ph.D. in physical chemistry, biology, physics, computer science or related field.
