The Rochester Center for Brain Imaging (University of Rochester, Rochester, NY) is seeking a research technician to perform data collection, preprocessing, and analysis of functional, structural, and diffusion tensor MRI data. In addition, there will be occasional need for the person to operate the MRI scanner.
Applicant must have a strong background in Digital Image Processing and hold a BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering or a related technical area. Responsibilities include: implementing custom software solutions for neuroscience research studies and participating in projects aimed at the development of improved computational methods for functional and morphological neuroimaging. The successful candidate should be well versed in scientific computation on Mac or Linux workstations and possess good skills in Matlab and C programming. Additional knowledge in physics, statistics or psychology, and/or experience in the processing and analysis of MR images (including packages such as AFNI, FSL, FreeSurfer, Brain Voyager or SPM) would be an asset. Training will be provided for running the scanner but good interpersonal skills is necessary for the task.
The research focus of the Center is human brain functions, however the center also coordinates basic and clinical research on other topics, including pulse sequence programming and MRI coil development. The successful candidate will be based in the Rochester Center for Brain Imaging (http://www.rcbi.rochester.edu), a state-of-the-art facility equipped with a Siemens TIM Trio 3T MR system and high-performance computing resources, with a full-time staff of cognitive neuroscientists, computer scientists, engineers, and physicists. Opportunities exist to collaborate with faculty in the departments of Brain & Cognitive Science, Center for Visual Science, Imaging Sciences/Radiology, Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science, among others.
Salary is commensurable with experience. Start date is flexible but a minimum of two-year commitment is required. If interested, please send a CV and short statement of your interest, as well as the name and address of three references to Madalina Tivarus at [log in to unmask]
