Postdoctoral Opening in Ultrafast fMRI Neuroscience
Research scientist/post doctoral positions available immediately at UC
Berkeley, in the area of ultrafast functional imaging applied to
neuroscience. The work will be to develop new neuroscience paradigms
and data analysis utilizing new high temporal resolution imaging pulse
sequences (down to 100ms TR for whole brain, see:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21187930).
Candidates are sought with a strong background in cognitive
neuroscience, vision science, or cognitive/computer modeling. Highly
desirable is experience in MRI physics, pulse sequences and
programming skills (C++, Matlab).
The majority of work will be conducted at the 3T Siemens scanner with
32-channel receiver system at UC Berkeley. Opportunities to work on
the 7 T and 10.5T at University of Minnesota will also be available.
The work is funded by the NIH NINDS to optimize simultaneous slice
imaging (multi-band, multiplexed EPI) for fMRI and diffusion HARDI
imaging. The position is for one year with possibility of extension.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Required:
• Ph.D. in neuroscience, vision science, psychology, computer science
or related field
• Strong background fMRI experimental design and analysis
• A record of publication and/or conference proceedings
• Computer programming (C++, Matlab, Python)
Desired experience:
• fMRI processing software (SPM, FSL, Freesurfer, Caret)
• Stimulus delivery software (E-prime, Psychtoolbox)
• Pulse sequence and MR physics experience
• Diffusion, ASL and/or flow imaging
• Multiple OS environments (Windows, Mac, Linux)
• As a subject in task fMRI (awake and still)
Interested individuals should e-mail their CV and cover letter to:
Prof. David Feinberg
Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, University of California, Berkeley
