Dear All,
A full time post-doctoral position is available in the Brain Institute at Albert Einstein Institute for Research and Education (Ince – IIEPAE). The main goals include the development of fMRI time-series analysis methods to investigate brain connectivity in oncology and neurodegenerative diseases. We have state-of-the-art whole body 3T Siemens Tim Trio MR system equipped with 32 Channel Head coil, integrated with 64 Channel Neurascan EEG-fMRI system. The facilities also include an fMRI eye-tracking system, a TMS system from Medtronics and in house stimulus delivery systems such as an olphatometer, all synchronized with image acquisition.
Successful applicant should have a PhD in physics, mathematics, biomedical engineering or in related fields. The ideal candidate would have a background in time-series analysis, C++ and Matlab pulse programming is not mandatory, but would be of advantage. Good communication skills are required to interact with a multidisciplinary team of experienced MRI scientists, engineers and psychologists.
Portuguese speaking would be desirable but not required. Salary is provided by an UNIEMP grant (equivalent to a top salary for post-doc scholarships in the country). The position (12 months renewable) is open in December 2010.
