Post-Doctoral Position in MR Physics at the Child Mind Institute
================================================================
Applications are currently being invited for a Post-Doctoral Fellow
position available at the Child Mind Institute. This position reports to
Cameron Craddock PhD, Director of Imaging in the Center for the Developing
Brain. The Child Mind Institute makes use of innovative MRI- and EEG-based
imaging approaches to characterize brain maturation across the lifespan,
with a particular focus on understanding the impact of psychiatric
illnesses on maturational processes. Additionally, the Child Mind Institute
is dedicated to the support of open-datasharing initiatives, such as the
International Neuroimaging Datasharing Initiative
(http://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/) and Enhanced Nathan Kline Institute
Rockland Sample ( http://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/indi/enhanced/).
The Child Mind Institute is currently recruiting a post-doctoral fellow
with a strong background in Magnetic Resonance (MR) Physics to develop and
optimize acquisition strategies for functional MR Imaging. The projectΉs
overarching goal is to develop novel fMRI experimental paradigms to
elucidate mechanisms underlying psychiatric illness in pediatric
populations. To this end, we are currently developing scanner software for
real-time fMRI, and performing a comprehensive evaluation of low-TR fMRI
acquisition strategies. In support of this mission, the fellow will be part
of a multidisciplinary team that includes MR physicists, neuroscientists,
clinicians and computer scientists. The position is located at CMI
headquarters in New York City. This is an exempt, full time position with
competitive salary and benefits.
Responsibilities:
Develop and implement sequence programs and image reconstruction software
on a Siemens 3T TIM Trio.
Develop and maintain software to support real-time fMRI.
Large-scale analysis of fMRI, DTI and structural neuroimaging data.
Author manuscripts and presentations describing accomplished research.
Work in a multidisciplinary environment, drawing from a broad range of
disciplines and imaging approaches.
Supervise junior level researchers and graduate students.
Qualifications:
PhD in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, medical physics,
physics or related field.
Demonstrated skills in MRI pulse sequence programming and image analysis
algorithm development.
Significant prior functional MRI experience.
Proficiency in C/C++ and Matlab programming.
Strong skills in using of one or more common functional neuroimaging
packages (e.g., AFNI, FSL, or SPM).
Experience with the Siemens IDEA programming framework (preferred but not
required).
Motivated self-starter with great attitude and flexibility.
Ability to work in a fast paced environment.
Salary and Anticipated Start Date:
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience/educational
qualifications. Benefits include health, vision, and dental. Anticipated
Start Date is immediate.
