Join Our Team
Would you like to work at the interface between engineering and medicine? We are accepting applications for the academic training positions listed below.
The OCIL develops and validates non-invasive high-resolution optical tools for the early detection and management of cancer. Our research includes all aspects of optical imaging and spectroscopy for the in vivo, ex vivo, and in silica evaluation of tissues from different organ sites including lung, cervix, oral cavity, skin and colon.
The OCIL is located at the BC Cancer Research Institute (BCCRI), between Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the University of British Columbia (UBC), in the city of Vancouver, BC.
Undergraduate Summer Students
The Optical Cancer Imaging Laboratory (OCIL) at the British Columbia Cancer Research Institute (BCCRI) isis seeking enthusiastic students for research and development of nondestructive, high-resolution optical instruments for early cancer detection and management. The OCIL offers a unique experience for students in a multidisciplinary clinical and research environment.
We are hiring a summer student for summer 2023 (May-Aug) to help us develop deep learning image segmentation programs and phantoms to test our endoscopes.

MASc and PhD Studentships
The Optical Cancer Imaging Lab (OCIL) has openings for MASc and PhD students in the Fall of 2023.
We are seeking qualified individuals to pursue projects related to the current research program at the OCIL. Our research program involves the development of hardware and software tools for in vivo (endoscopic) optical coherence tomography (OCT) and autofluorescence imaging (AFI) for the early detection of cancer. We also develop machine learning tools for segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary research group including engineers, imaging scientists, and clinicians.
Read the Studentship Posting for more details.
Interested candidates should forward a cover letter that expresses their research interests, curriculum vitae, and references to Rebecca White (rebecca.white@bccrc.ca) with “PHD STUDENTSHIP 2023” in the subject line.
Post-Doctoral Fellowship
We are seeking qualified individuals to pursue mutually beneficial projects related to the current research program at the OCIL. There are several research projects of interest, including but not limited to, development of OCT systems for endoscopic imaging in the 800nm band, time-resolved fluorescence imaging, and multimodal endoscopic imaging. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary research group including engineers, imaging scientists, and clinicians.
