Several postdoctoral positions are available at the Functional Brain Imaging Lab (FBIL) led by Dr. Wei Gao located at the Biomedical Imaging Research Center (BRIC) of UNC-Chapel Hill. Our focuses include better understanding of the neurophysiological mechanism underlying early brain development, normal brain functioning, as well as brain diseasess (including Bipolar, Schizophrenia, MCI/AD, Parkinson’s Diseases, etc) using resting-state fMRI, task-based fMRI, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The candidates will be actively involved in one of the research themes based on his/her research experiences.

Successful candidates should have extensive research experience in at least one of the three modalities (i.e., resting-state fMRI, task-based fMRI, and DTI) and have a Ph.D degree in Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biostatistics, or related fields. Good command of programming tools including Matlab, Linux, and scripting are necessary to carry out the research work in this group.

Successful candidates will be part of a diverse group including neuroscientists, biomedical engineers, computer scientists, psychiatrists, psychologists, radiologists and biostatisticians, and will build upon the group’s previous work on functional brain imaging study.

If interested, please contact Wei Gao at wgao@email.unc.edu mailto:wgao@email.unc.edu.
