Dear Stefan,
My pleasure; with very best wishes,
Karl
Dear Karl,
the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in Albuquerque, New
Mexico has two immediate openings for post-doctoral fellows in high-speed
breast MRSI and in real-time fMRI. I am writing to you to ask that you
bring these opening to the attention of the SPM community. Could you
please forward this letter and the attached announcements?
Best wishes .
Stefan
Postdoctoral Researcher – Real-time fMRI
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, USA
The University of New Mexico
(http://hsc.unm.edu) in partnership
with the Martinos NMR Center at MGH
(
http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/martinos/), the MIND Research Network
(http://www.mrn.org/) and the
Albuquerque VA Medical Center is expanding research in real-time
functional MRI.
This is an exciting opportunity to participate in NIH funded projects
developing novel real-time fMRI techniques. The goals of this research
are to detect transient brain activation and to map the neural correlates
of cognition and emotion using neurofeedback. The successful candidate
will develop volumetric single-shot fMRI methods using a novel parallel
imaging method, dynamic shimming methods to compensate effects of
macroscopic magnetic field inhomogeneity, and real-time data analysis
methods. He/she will carry out real-time fMRI experiments to validate the
technology. The candidate will work in an interdisciplinary team of
clinicians and basic scientists and have access to state-of-the-art MRI
and computational facilities, including several Siemens 1.5T and 3T
scanners. We have several ongoing projects developing MR pulse sequences
combining high-speed gradient encoding with parallel imaging, and
developing pattern classification methods for real-time fMRI.
We seek candidates with strong research backgrounds in the following
areas:
- Physics, engineering, or related area.
- MR pulse sequence development
- Parallel imaging reconstruction (SENSE, GRAPPA)
- Functional MRI data acquisition and analysis techniques
Preferred Qualifications of this position include:
- Experience developing pulse sequences for the Siemens Syngo platform
- Programming experience with Matlab or IDL, and C++
- Working knowledge of data mining tools, such as ICA or pattern
classification
- Working knowledge of functional neuroanatomy
- A record of publication and/or conference proceedings
Interested candidates may contact Prof. Stefan Posse at the
Department of Neurology, University of New Mexico School of Medicine, MSC
10 5620, 1 University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131
[log in to unmask], 505-925-6087
The University of New Mexico is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer and Educator. Qualified women and minorities are strongly
encouraged to apply.
Postdoctoral Researcher - High Speed Breast MRSI
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, USA
The University of New Mexico's Cancer Center
(http://cancer.unm.edu/) in
collaboration with the Departments of Neurology, Radiology, Surgery,
Internal Medicine and Biochemistry
(
http://hsc.unm.edu/som/departments.shtml) and the breast MRI/MRS
program at the University of Minnesota's Center for Magnetic Resonance
Research (http://www.cmrr.umn.edu)
is expanding their breast cancer imaging research program.
This is an exciting opportunity to participate in the development of
high-speed MR spectroscopic imaging to map metabolic biomarkers of breast
cancer for disease staging and treatment monitoring. The successful
candidate will develop novel high-speed MR spectroscopic imaging pulse
sequences and analysis tools for the Siemens platform and test the
methodology in healthy controls and in breast cancer patients. The
candidate will work in an interdisciplinary team of clinicians and basic
scientists and have access to state-of-the-art MRI and computational
facilities, including a Siemens Tim Trio 3T scanner with breast array
coil. We have several ongoing projects developing MRSI pulse sequences
combining high-speed gradient encoding with parallel imaging. A growing
core of faculty, staff, and students is applying MRSI in clinical studies
of brain, breast and prostate.
We seek candidates with strong research backgrounds in the following
areas:
- Engineering, computer science, physics, or a related field.
- MR pulse sequence development
- High-field MR spectroscopy and analysis
Preferred Qualifications of this position include:
- Experience developing pulse sequences on the Siemens Syngo platform
- Programming experience with Matlab or IDL, and C++
- A record of publication and/or conference proceedings
