Post-Doctoral Fellow Position:
Applications are currently being invited for a Post-Doctoral Fellow
position available in the Computational Neuroimaging Lab (CNL;
http://computational-neuroimaging-lab.org) at the Child Mind Institute,
under the direction of Cameron Craddock, PhD. The overarching goal of
the CNL’s research is the identification of objective imaging-based
markers of pathology to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of
psychiatric illness. The primary responsibility of this position is to
develop novel analytical methods that integrate information from a
variety of imaging modalities (resting state and task fMRI, real-time
fMRI, EEG, DTI, structural MRI), with brain stimulation techniques
(tDCS, tACS, TMS), and phenotypic variables for the characterization of
brain development and function in clinical and non-clinical populations.
To facilitate their research, fellows will work as a part of a highly
collaborative and multidisciplinary team that integrates a broad range
of disparate specialties (e.g. cognitive neuroscience, clinical
psychology, computer science, engineering, mathematics).
Responsibilities:
• Large-scale analysis of fMRI, simultaneous EEG/fMRI, DTI and
structural neuroimaging data.
• Develop and maintain open source software tools for preprocessing,
analyzing, and curating neuroimaging data.
• Author manuscripts and presentations describing accomplished research.
• Supervise junior level researchers and graduate students.
Qualifications:
• PhD in biomedical engineering, cognitive science, electrical
engineering, mathematics, or physics.
• Significant prior neuroimaging experience with MRI, with strong skills
in preprocessing and analyzing neuroimaging data using one or more of
the common neuroimaging packages (e.g., AFNI, FSL, Freesurfer, Diffusion
Toolbkit, or SPM).
• Programming experience in C/C++, Matlab, Python, and similar platforms.
• Motivated self-starter with great attitude and flexibility.
• Ability to work in a fast paced environment.
Salary and Anticipated Start Date:
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience/educational
qualifications. Benefits include health, vision, and dental.
Anticipated Start Date is immediate.
Application details:
Please email cameron.craddock(a)childmind.org to apply, please include a
CV including the names of 3 references with your inquiry.
Employment at Will Relationship: This position description does not
constitute a guarantee that employment will continue for any specified
period of time. Rather, employment is at the mutual consent of the
employee and CMI, and can be terminated at will by the employee or by CMI.

relationship at any time.
CMI is an Equal Opportunity Employer. CMI is committed to recruiting and
maintaining a diverse staff; individuals from all backgrounds are
strongly encouraged to apply.
