The Neuroimaging Research Unit, Division of Neuroscience at Hospital San
Raffaele is looking for a highly motivated junior researcher or
postdoctoral fellow with previous experience in analysis of structural
and functional MR scans in multiple sclerosis and other white matter
conditions.
He/she will work on projects aimed at improving the understanding of the
mechanisms leading to the accumulation of irreversible physical
disability and cognitive impairment in adult and pediatric patients with
multiple sclerosis and other white matter diseases, including
vasculitides, neuromyelitis optica, migraine and trauma.
The Neuroimaging Research Unit (NRU) is an international research
centre, part of the Institute of Experimental Neurology, operating since
15 years. NRU mission is to foster state-of-the-art neuroimaging
research directed at understanding the structural and functional
correlates of central nervous system (CNS) changes in healthy subjects
and damage in diseased individuals. The NRU currently comprises a
multidisciplinary team including physicians, post-Docs, bioengineers,
PhD students, residents in neurology, technicians and data-managers
(
http://www.hsr.it/research/organization/divisions-centers/division-of-neuro…).
The ideal candidate should have expertise in the acquisition and
analysis of advanced MRI techniques (volumetric, diffusion tensor MRI
and functional MRI). Expertise in voxel-based morphometry, tract-based
spatial statistics, resting state and active fMRI analyses would be an
advantage.
The job requires the analysis and acquisition of MRI data sets and
implementation of novel analytic tools, contributing to the design and
programming of MRI experiments, assisting in analyzing the results, and
participating in the writing up of the results.
Good social skills are important as the candidate is expected to
actively collaborate with other members of the laboratory.
Applicants should be able to demonstrate a consistently good academic
record, including publications in international journals.
Starting date: October 2014 for up to 3 years.
Salary will vary based on previous experience.
CVs, including name of two references, should be sent to: Prof. Massimo
Filippi at filippi.massimo(a)hsr.it <mailto:filippi.massimo@hsr.it>.
