*Postdoctoral Fellowship in Multimodal Neuroimaging*
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), USA
A postdoctoral fellowship position is available in multimodal
neuroimaging of traumatic brain injury (TBI) at the University of
California, San Francisco (UCSF). UCSF is a world-class academic medical
center and research institution. The position can begin as early as
July 15, 2013.
The successful candidate will use state-of-the-art 3T and 7T research MR
scanners and MEG, as part of prospective cross-sectional and
longitudinal clinical studies of TBI with correlation to genomics and
neurocognitive testing. The postdoctoral fellow will have the
opportunity to work closely with physicians, surgeons, imaging
scientists and engineers, as well as cognitive neuroscientists. The
focus of the research will be on acquiring, analyzing, and integrating
DTI/HARDI/DSI, morphometric, and functional (fMRI/MEG) imaging data on
TBI patients and controls. The successful candidate will also have the
opportunity for methodological development, especially in the areas of
diffusion imaging and tractography, functional connectivity and
connectomics.
Candidate should have a Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent in Cognitive
Science, Neuroscience, Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics,
Computer Science or Electrical Engineering. Experience with functional
MRI and diffusion MRI as well as image processing tools such as FSL and
FreeSurfer is desirable. The ideal candidate should have a background
in multivariate pattern analysis and machine learning as well as strong
programming skills with C/C++, Matlab, Python, and/or VTK/ITK.
Starting salary will be in the range of $43,000 to $55,000 plus
benefits, depending on qualifications and experience level.
