neurosciences. Previous experience in neurological functional imaging is
expected. Preferred candidates will have proficiency in epidemiology, biostatistics,
registration techniques using deformable templates to create standardized
atlases, and training/certification in clinical research. Salary will be
commensurate with academic credentials and experience. Candidates will be
expected to apply and obtain funding from external agencies to continue the
