FYI ---
The Neuroradiology Section at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is seeking an exceptional postdoctoral candidate in multimodal imaging of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
Combining neuroimaging, genetics, and computational methods, our group is interested in elucidating mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions ranging from obsessive compulsive disorder to dementia. Our emphasis is on using multimodal imaging (including structural and functional MRI, MR spectroscopy, EEG/MEG) and imaging genetics to develop genetic and imaging biomarkers that can be leveraged to both diagnose neuropsychiatric disease and to provide a rational framework for targeting and monitoring therapy - including emerging neuro-modulatory technologies - in individual patients.
We seek a postdoctoral candidate with advanced training in neurosciences or biomedical engineering, a strong background in human imaging, and a desire to pursue translational research using a multi-disciplinary approach. The ideal candidate should have considerable experience with data analysis, simulation, and visualization using packages such as Matlab, R, or Python, as well as facility with MRI image analysis tools such as Freesurfer, FSL, and SPM. Applicants should have a Ph.D. or M.D. degree with less than five years of postdoctoral experience. Highly motivated individuals with a record of productive research are encouraged to apply. The position is available starting August 1, 2016.
UC San Francisco seeks candidates whose experience, teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
