Postdoctoral Fellowship in Neuroimaging |
|
A postdoctoral fellowship position is available in multimodal
neuroimaging (DTI/HARDI, MRSI, morphometry, fMRI, MEG) of traumatic
brain injury (TBI) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
UCSF is a world-class academic medical center and research institution. The successful candidate will work with state-of-the-art 3T and 7T research MR scanners and MEG, as part of prospective cross-sectional and longitudinal clinical studies of TBI with correlation to genomics and neurocognitive testing. The postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to work closely with physicians, surgeons, imaging scientists and engineers, as well as cognitive neuroscientists and molecular and cellular neuroscientists. The focus of the research will be on acquiring, analyzing, and integrating DTI/HARDI, MRSI, morphometric, and functional (fMRI/MEG) imaging data on TBI patients and controls. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity for MR methodological development, especially in the area of diffusion imaging. Candidate should have a Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent in Cognitive Science, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science or Electrical Engineering. Experience with fMRI and DTI as well as image processing tools such as FSL, SPM, and/or MRIStudio, is desirable. The ideal candidate should have a background in MR physics and strong programming skills with C/C++, Matlab, IDL, Python, and/or VTK/ITK. Starting salary will be in the range of $43,000 to $50,000 plus benefits, depending on qualifications and experience level. Please email CV, cover letter describing research background and
interests, and contact information for 2-3 references to: |
