Experience or expertise in the following areas is highly desired:
1. computer programming experience (MATLAB, C/C++, Python, OpenGL, tcl/tk)
2. neuroimaging analysis methods (especially FreeSurfer)
3. structural MRI, DTI, fMRI, ASL
4. MRI physics and/or pulse programming
5. scientific writing
This posting is for 2-year appointments beginning immediately. Salary will be consistent with the NIH/NRSA levels in accordance with the University of California, San Diego policies for Postdoctoral trainees. Compensation includes full staff benefits, including health insurance, and vacation time. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
