The Mayo Clinic Departments of Neurology and Diagnostic Radiology in Rochester, Minnesota are seeking applications for a fully-funded, two-year postdoctoral Research Fellow position to begin in July of 2017.  The Research Fellow position will primarily work on developing advanced multi-modal molecular and high-field (3T and 7T) neuroimaging to study connectomics in pre-clinical and clinical Alzheimer’s disease. The resulting data will be acquired and analyzed as part of a unique collaboration between investigators at Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research at the University of Minnesota. Basic programing skills and familiarity with widely used neuroimaging software platforms are required for successful applicants. Familiarity with the Human Connectome Project imaging and analyses protocols is preferred but not required. No clinical or Alzheimer’s specific background is required.
