NEUROIMAGING RESEARCH POSITION AT THE VA BOSTON HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS
A research position is available in advanced neuroimaging at the VA Boston
Health Care System (VABHCS) in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston. This
position is in the new Neuroimaging Research Center at the VA. The
candidate will have responsibilities related to development of the imaging
center as well as in independent and collaborative research.
The applicant should have advanced skills in functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) including utilization of sophisticated experimental design
and functional paradigms, knowledge of software packages such as FSL and
Freesurfer, and be knowledgeable about advanced analysis procedures such
as functional connectivity (fcMRI) and independent component analysis
(ICA) of functional imaging data. Experience with advanced data
acquisition procedures is desirable. Some knowledge of Unix/Linux and
MATLAB is required. Multimodal integration with dynamic (e.g.
EEG/MEG/PET/ASL), structural (e.g. morphometry/DTI), or other imaging
procedures (MRS/TMS) would be a plus.
The candidate should be interested in applying advanced functional imaging
to the study of conditions relevant to the VA mission, including traumatic
brain injury (TBI), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), cognitive
neuroscience of learning and memory, cerebrovascular disease, genetic
factors of disease, and age associated decline in cognitive function.
The VA is equipped with a 3T Siemens TIM Trio imager and a variety of
hardware for stimulus presentation, eye tracking, and physiological
monitoring.
The VA is an affiliate of Boston University School of Medicine and Harvard
Medical School as well as several other academic and health care education
institutions, and is a site of The National Center for Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (NCPTSD).
Interested parties should send a CV and contact information for three

NEUROIMAGING RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITION AT THE VA BOSTON HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM IN BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS
A research assistant position is available in advanced neuroimaging at the
VA Boston Health Care System (VABHCS) in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston.
This position is in the new Neuroimaging Research Center at the VA. The
candidate will have responsibilities related to patient scanning and data
analysis, as well as administrative aspects of the imaging center and
ongoing research.
The applicant should have some experience in magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) research including some knowledge of one or more common software
packages utilized in MRI data analysis (FSL/Freesurfer/SPM). Some
knowledge of Unix/Linux and MATLAB is required.
The candidate should be interested in working on studies focused on
conditions relevant to the VA mission, including traumatic brain injury
(TBI), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), cognitive neuroscience of
memory, cerebrovascular disease, genetic factors of disease, and age
associated decline in cognitive function. The applicant should be willing
to make a two-year commitment.
The VA is equipped with a 3T Siemens TIM Trio imager and a variety of
hardware for stimulus presentation, eye tracking, and physiological
monitoring.
