Fwd: Postdoctoral Fellowship Opening at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)

*Postdoctoral Fellowship in Multimodal Neuroimaging* University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), USA A postdoctoral fellowship position is available in multimodal neuroimaging 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 position can begin as early as July 15, 2013. The successful candidate will use 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. The focus of the research will be on acquiring, analyzing, and integrating DTI/HARDI/DSI, morphometric, and functional (fMRI/MEG) imaging data on TBI patients and controls. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity for methodological development, especially in the areas of diffusion imaging and tractography, functional connectivity and connectomics. Candidate should have a Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent in Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science or Electrical Engineering. Experience with functional MRI and diffusion MRI as well as image processing tools such as FSL and FreeSurfer is desirable. The ideal candidate should have a background in multivariate pattern analysis and machine learning as well as strong programming skills with C/C++, Matlab, Python, and/or VTK/ITK. Starting salary will be in the range of $43,000 to $55,000 plus benefits, depending on qualifications and experience level.
