Position Available
Immediate, full-time position available at The Functional
Neuroimaging Laboratory, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Medical
College of Cornell University in New York, NY for someone who
matches the following description:
Postdoctoral Associate or Research Associate in Functional Brain
Imaging Data Analysis
-- Description of Duties and Responsibilities: The Functional
Neuroimaging Laboratory at Cornell Medical Center is conducting
exciting research with the cutting-edge technology of functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This technique allows for
non-invasive identification, localization, and characterization of
patterns of brain activity underlying human cognitive, emotional,
perceptual and behavioral processes, and their disruption in
neuropsychiatric disorders. Sophisticated mathematical,
statistical and computational approaches in image processing and
data analysis are essential to this rapidly evolving research
field. The position entails:
-- Participation in research software development as a
member of a team
-- Development, testing and maintenance of Unix shell script,
C and MatLab programs for brain image processing and analysis
-- Production of associated documentation
-- Performance of complex image and data analysis
-- Preparation of manuscripts and grant proposals
-- Supervision by laboratory image analysis scientist
(electrical engineer/mathematician /statistician)
-- Interaction with systems administrator and scientists
(software users) in the lab
-- Exposure to advanced brain-mind imaging research in an
academic, interdisciplinary medical setting (involving
physicians, neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists,
physicists, mathematicians, statisticians, engineers,
and fellows/students). Mapping brain function associated
with perception, thought, emotion; and dysfunction
associated with conditions such as schizophrenia,
depression and anxiety disorders with a research-dedicated
GE 3T MRI scanner
-- Requirements: Either Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer
Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics or a closely related
field for the postdoctoral position, or M.S. in Electrical and
Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics or a closely
related field for the assistant position. Must have knowledge of
statistics, especially with one of statistics packages such as
SAS, S-Plus, and SPSS. Strong programming skill in C, MATLAB, and
UNIX and Windows administration. Skill that would be a plus: S, R,
Perl, Oracle, PL/SQL, Java. Basic knowledge of cognitive
neuroscience and biomedical imaging a plus as well. Must be self
motivated, resourceful, able to multi-task and prioritize, and
have excellent communication (verbal and written) and
interpersonal skills.
-- This is a full-time position with generous fringe benefits.
-- Weill Medical College of Cornell University is an equal
opportunity employer (EEO/AA/M/F/D/V).
-- Interested applicants should send resume and cover letter with
2 references as soon as possible to:
