Re: positions at Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm)

FYI ------------------------- Three post-doc positions are now available in our group. KIND is a competence center for research, development and education within the area of developmental psychopathology. The center is established in collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm County Council aiming at improving generating high-end basic research, clinical practice, and spread new knowledge to stakeholders. 1) Postdoc in developmental neuroimaging: The post-doc fellow will be responsible for the neuroimaging part within a project investigating infants with high risk for Autism Spectrum Disorders. This work is funded by the EU AIMS consortium (http://www.eu-aims.eu/#). Functional MRI (activation with auditory stimuli and resting state), as well as myelination assessments are planned, both at 4 and 36 months. 2) Postdoc in cognitive neuroimaging - longitudinal design: The post-doc fellow will be mainly responsible for the longitudinal neuroimaging assessments within a project investigating twins discordant for Autism Spectrum Disorders. This project is funded by the EU AIMS consortium (http://www.eu-aims.eu). Functional (diffusion, resting-state), as well as structural MRI are planned. The position implies to be involved in the administrative and technical set-up of this follow-up. 3) Engineer/Postdoc in MR spectroscopic imaging: The post-doc fellow or the engineer will be responsible for the MR spectroscopic imaging part within a project investigating twins discordant for Autism Spectrum Disorders. MRSI-1H MR spectroscopic imaging will be used as a complementary method to resting-state-functional, diffusion and structural MRI. The MRSI part will include the metabolic map reconstruction software development or adaptation of available packages. The MRSI quantification will be based on LCmodel while post processing: metabolic map reconstruction, should be re-designed. All the details can be found here: http://ki.se/ki/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=34093&l=en Please note that we DO NOT ACCEPT applications being submitted by email. To be considered, your application must be submitted as specified within the announcement.
