Brief Description of Duties:
Stony Brook University seeks a Project Support Specialist to support ongoing projects in biomedical optical imaging within the Department of Biomedical Engineering. The individual will contribute to experimental design, data acquisition, and analysis for diffuse optical imaging systems, including diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), time-gated DCS (TG-DCS), and speckle-based methods (SCOS). The position requires continuity with ongoing research efforts and prior familiarity with experimental systems, datasets, and analysis workflows to enable immediate contribution. The candidate is expected to contribute immediately to time-sensitive deliverables, including ongoing grant and manuscript activities.

Duties:

• Conduct experimental measurements using optical imaging systems including DCS, TG-DCS, and SCOS.
• Develop, maintain, and optimize data acquisition and signal processing pipelines. Analyze physiological data including cerebral blood flow and neurophysiological signals. Maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot optical instrumentation. Support integration of multimodal systems including optical and electrophysiological measurements.
• Assist in preparation of figures, reports, and grant-related materials.
• Support ongoing grant deliverables and manuscript preparation related to biomedical optical imaging.
• Other duties as assigned.
