Postdoctoral position in multimodal imaging (autism) available
I would like to make known the availability of a two year postdoctoral position in my laboratory. Strong MRI/DTI/Spectroscopy signal processing analysis skills plus experience with and commitment to multimodal imaging are required; EEG or MEG experience is an advantage. The TRANSCEND Research Program (http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/transcend/ and www.mghneuro.transcendresearch.org http://www.mghneuro.transcendresearch.org/ ) performs multimodal imaging and biomaterial collection with a central focus on neurodevelopmental disorders in general, and autism in particular. Our main location is at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Charlestown, MA (www.martinos.org http://www.martinos.org/ ) which is affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School and MIT. We have a second location at a clinical site, the Lurie Family Center for Autism where we have a 128 lead EGI EEG in a shielded room as well as a photogrammetry machine.
This position will involve analysis of multimodal imaging data, integrating EEG data with multimodal MRI and behavioral data, and collection of new data. Our research projects include MRI (volumetrics, diffusion, MRS, etc.) and MEG (usually on the same subjects allowing coregistration) as well as EEG from early infancy through mid-childhood; the subjects are all carefully phenotyped. We additionally analyze clinical EEG and imaging data. An additional interest in metabolic, toxicological or molecular measures and imaging will be welcomed. The Martinos Center provides ample opportunities for interacting with outstanding colleagues.
Please direct any interested members of your lab or anyone else amongst your colleagues or colleagues' labs to write to me at mherbert1@partners.org and please cc transcend@partners.org.
Please forward to any potentially interested colleagues.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Martha R. Herbert, MD, PhD
