</note>

There are a few research positions available in the Biophotonics group, which is located in the newly renovated ABB photonics facility as well as in the McMaster Smart Home for Aging-in-Place (SHAPE) in Westdale. The potential project topics are: 
  * ultrafast laser micromachining and additive manufacturing, 
  * multiplexed confocal and their applications in drug discovery and multidimensional dynamic bioimaging
  * endoscopic imaging instrumentation 
  * optofluidic sensing and their applications in point-of-care/need
  * Smart Home sensor networks for aging-in-place applications

It is also part of the [[http://www.eng.mcmaster.ca/msbe/programs/degree-options/masc/accelerated-option|Accelerated Master Program in Biomedical Engineering]], especially (but not limited to) for students in the iBioMed program. 


==== Requirements ====
  * Enthusiasm in biomedical engineering research 
  * Undergraduate degree in photonics engineering, physics, EE/ECE, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, computing and software, life science/biochemistry, 
 integrated Sciences, and related fields. 
  * Strong physics and math academic backgrounds
 
==== How to Apply ====
Interested students should e-mail an updated CV and unofficial transcript to biophotonics@mcmaster.ca.  

===== Graduate Students =====

Potential graduate students may have background in one or more of the following areas: \\ 
  * Optics and physics
  * Electronics and image/signal processing
  * Biology, biochemistry w/ strong microscopy/tissue culture experiences
  * Tissue optics, microscopy, and other biophotonics research
  * Hands-on experiences in above areas, programming in Matlab, C/C++, Python, and/or LabView

__**PhD Position in Sensing/Imaging instrumentation and its biomedical applications (after Masters degree or direct entry from undergraduate) **__

We seek a graduate student with strong optics, physics, and/or electrical/mechatronics engineering background.  The research project involves developing sensing/imaging instrumentation for imaging applications in biomedicine.  Experiences and Knowledge in data acquisition, processing, and related areas are desirable.   

Interested candidates are encouraged to send a CV (by email) to Dr. Q. Fang (qiyin.fang@mcmaster.ca).
