The University of Southern California Imaging Genetics Center (http://igc.ini.usc.edu) in Marina del Rey, California is looking for talented full-time Research Assistants to perform research including analysis of brain images. The 30-member team at IGC is the hub of the ENIGMA project (http://enigma.ini.usc.edu/), which integrates brain imaging data from around the world. We are actively involved in some of the largest brain imaging studies of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, HIV/AIDS, schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar illness. We also lead or participate in numerous studies of normal development, genetics, traumatic brain injury, and brain connectivity. Our laboratory writes and applies novel computational algorithms to study how major psychiatric and neurological diseases affect brain structure, function, and connectivity. The successful applicant will be a reliable, independent worker with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering, computer science, math, neuroscience, or a related field. Computer programming skills in Matlab, shell scripting, or C++, and knowledge of image analysis software such as FSL or SPM are preferred. Knowledge of advanced statistics or genetics is a plus. This full-time position is ideal for candidates looking to spend a couple of years doing neuroimaging research before medical school or an advanced graduate degree. To apply, please e-mail Professor Paul Thompson, IGC Director, at pthomp(a)usc.edu with your cover letter and CV.
