The Headache and Orofacial Pain Effort (H.O.P.E.) requests applications
for Research fellow/Postdoc to work on a TMD research program funded by
NIH-NIDCR. The program uses neuroimaging to investigate central
mu-opioid mechanisms of chronic TMD pain. Knowledge of Linux/UNIX
operating systems as well as programming experience is required, as is a
good level of comfort with novel computer applications and statistics.
Previous research experience with positron emission tomography and/or
MRI-based neuroimaging methods and analyses is also needed. We are
seeking applicants with strong self-motivation to work in a highly
creative, altruistic, and mentoring environment. The applicant will be
exposed to other tech-innovations in chronic pain (e.g., migraine,
dental and cancer pain), such as:

H.O.P.E. is a multidisciplinary collaborative effort at University of
Michigan to investigate the brain as a research and therapeutic target
for headaches and orofacial pain disorders. The University of Michigan
is an equal opportunity affirmative action employer.
