Undergraduate Summer Students

Posted on by

The Optical Cancer Imaging Laboratory (OCIL) at the British Columbia Cancer Research Institute (BCCRI) is 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.

Interested in working with us? Learn about the position, and how to apply.

Post-Doctoral Fellowship

Posted on by

We are seeking qualified individuals to pursue mutually beneficial projects related to the current research program in the OCIL at the BC Cancer Research Institute. Fellowships can start early 2023.

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.

See the OCIL Recruitment Page for details.

Interested candidates should forward a cover letter that expresses their research interests, curriculum vitae, and two references to Rebecca White (rebecca.white@bccrc.ca) with “OCT PDF 2023” in the subject line.

Studentships – Fall 2023
