Child Mind Institute is recruiting a Post Doctoral Fellowship interested in the study of brain structure and function connectome using multimodal neuroimaging techniques. Particular focus will be placed on brain development and cross-species comparison between human and nonhuman primates based on both in vivo and ex vivo MRI imaging data.
This is an exempt full-time position (2-3 years) located in our New York headquarters office.
Responsibilities:
• Development, application, and refinement of analytic approaches for multimodal data, including, but not limited to, functional and structural imaging data.
• Preprocess of functional and diffusion MRI datasets in human and nonhuman primates on high-performance computing infrastructures. Develop scientific-quality tests for evaluating the results of cutting-edge brain imaging analysis pipelines
• Extend processing techniques used in analyzing brain imaging data and evaluate/compare novel approaches to the state-of-the-art in brain imaging research.
• Preparation of manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals and assistance in grant applications in a timely fashion
• Preparing data to be shared with research collaborators for experimentation and publication.
• Assistance in the supervision of junior research staff (e.g., research assistants, data analysts)
Qualifications:
• Completed PhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, computer science, mathematics, biophysics, neuropsychology or related fields.
• Significant prior neuroimaging experience with one or more imaging modalities (fMRI, DTI, MRI, EEG, MEG)
• Strong skills in using one or more common functional neuroimaging packages (e.g., AFNI, FSL, FreeSurfer, SPM, etc.)
• Strong programming experience in one or more languages (e.g., Python, R, Matlab etc.).
• Ability to work as a member of a team as well as independently
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
• Interpersonal skills, as well as written and oral communication
• A passion for the Child Mind Institute's mission
