The Department of Radiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School
of Medicine is seeking a full-time Neuroscience Image Processing
Scientist. Under the direction of the Medical Director of the
Neurological Testing Center and the Director of Neuroimaging Research,
the Neuroscience Image Processing Scientist will be responsible for
coordinating imaging for use in epilepsy surgery and other functional
neurosurgical procedures. Assignments will require close interaction
with neuroradiology and neuroimaging collaborators to develop and
implement more advanced functional imaging techniques. The primary
effort will be focused on the development and implementation of clinical
tools; however, there is dedicated time for independent research.
Northwestern has very active clinical and research programs in Neurology
and Neuroimaging. Imaging resources include 10 clinical and 4 dedicated
research high field MRI systems, a PET/CT system, high density EEG and
TMS. There is a very active and rapidly expanding Neurosurgery group
with strong collaborations with BrainLab, and a supportive clinical
environment for research.
Candidates should have an MD or PhD in neuroscience, medicine, physics,
psychology or a related field, and excellent communication skills.
Experience with analysis of structural, diffusion, fMRI including
resting state, MEG, PET, SPECT, and EEG data is required. The ability to
co-register multi-modality diagnostic (EEG, MEG) studies with SISCOM,
MRI, fMRI, DTI and PET studies is a must. Experience in planning stereo
EEG electrode placement, surgical guidance, and proficiency with PRISM
software, CURRY Neuroimaging Suite, and BrainLab surgical navigation
systems, is desired.
The position is funded for an initial two-year time period, with a high
likelihood of long term employment. Salary is based on the NIH scale and
benefits are highly competitive. Position is available on July 1, 2014,
and applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
Applicants should send curriculum vitae, references and cover letter to:
