POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
Biochemist/Biophysicist - MR Spectroscopy
The Maryland Psychiatric Research Center (MPRC) is accepting
applications for a post-doctoral fellowship to work on a collaborative
project with a Federal Agency in Baltimore dedicated to understanding
altered metabolism and neurotransmission in schizophrenia and drug
addiction. The candidate will join a team of MR physicists,
psychiatrists and neurobiologists to a) develop MR spectroscopy
techniques for measuring brain metabolites and neurotransmitters, such
as glutamate and NAAG, and b) investigate the consequences of drug
addiction on these metabolite levels in humans and animal models.
Experiments will be conducted on a research-dedicated 3T Siemens MRI
scanner and a 9.4T Bruker animal MRI scanner housed at the Federal
Agency. The successful candidate must possess a Ph.D. in Biochemistry,
Biomedical Engineering, Biophysics, Physical Chemistry, Physiology,
Neuroscience, or a related field. Experience in MR spectroscopy in human
and/or small animals is preferred.
