Postdoctoral Position in fMRI |
|
A postdoctoral research position is available in the
Department of Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. The
position will be involved with research in functional MRI (fMRI), with
potential projects including functional connectivity, diffusion imaging,
and/or novel fMRI methods or analysis techniques. Applications will
include studies of brain development and neuropsychiatric disorders
(e.g. anxiety disorder, depression, and autism). Responsibilities will
include independent and collaborative research, assisting with
applications of the data analysis, as well as publishing and presenting
results. The applicant will work in a rich, highly interdisciplinary
environment and have the opportunity to work with researchers in Medical
Physics, Computer Science, Radiology, Psychology, Psychiatry and
Neuroscience. The Department of Psychiatry (in conjunction with the Department of Radiology) has recently installed a new 3T GE MR750 MRI scanner. The University of Wisconsin has three 3T and one 1.5T human MRI scanners (GE) available for research (and several clinical scanners at UW hospital), and a small animal 4.7T Varian MRI scanner. The candidate should have a Ph.D. or equivalent in MRI physics, biomedical engineering, computer science, neuroscience, or a related discipline. The candidate should also have solid communication skills, and be able to work both in a team and independently. Experience with fMRI or advanced data analysis (multivariate analyses, pattern classification, etc.) would be a significant plus. Salary is commensurate with experience. Contact Info: Rasmus M.
