The Center for Prevention of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (CPND) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is recruiting Clinical Neuroimaging Postdoc with interest and experience in diffusion and functional brain MRI data acquisition and processing using connectometric approaches for neonates at high-risk for neurodevelopmental disorders. We have collected such data in more than 500 very preterm infants soon after birth and are currently collecting neurodevelopmental data up to 7 years of age. This is a great opportunity to contribute to additional high-quality MRI data collection, processing, data analysis, student mentoring, and manuscript writing. There will also be ample opportunities to learn new skills.

Qualifications:

·        A PhD degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, Psychology, or related field is required.

• Experience with scripting/programming languages (MATLAB, Python, R, etc.)
• Familiarity with MRI data analysis (fMRI, dMRI, qMRI, etc.)
• Strong interpersonal and organizational skills
• Familiarity with multimodal data analyses and modeling, advanced machine learning techniques, multivariate statistics and cloud computing is a plus.

To apply: Please send your CV and a cover letter with names and contact information for three references to Nehal Parikh, DO, MS (nehal.parikh@cchmc.org)

The NIH-funded research in the Parikh Lab within the CPND crosses multiple disciplines including computational neuroscience, multimodal neuroimaging, prognostication, and neurodevelopmental rehabilitation. Our focus is on integrating multimodal neuroimaging with advanced computational and engineering techniques to enable early diagnosis / prognosis and prevention of neurodevelopmental disorders. Cincinnati is a great Midwestern city with a dynamic downtown, restaurants, sports scene, and family values while Cincinnati Children’s consistently ranks as one of the best places to work.
