Postdoctoral Fellowship: Multimodal Imaging
Description:
A two year postdoctoral position pursuing multimodal imaging is available with the TRANSCEND Research Program (www.transcendresearch.org) at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Charlestown, MA (www.martinos.org) which is affiliated with the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard and MIT. There is a second location at a clinical site, the MGH-affiliated Lurie Family Center for Autism, where we have a 128 lead EGI EEG in a shielded room as well as a photogrammetry machine.
The programs emphasis is on pathophysiologically oriented brain research and application of advanced imaging acquisition and analysis techniques to neurological and sensory aspects of autism spectrum disorders. Emphasis will be on MRI (DTI, spectroscopy, morphometry, ASL) and on co-registering EEG and MEG with MRI. This position will involve analysis of existing multimodal imaging data and collection of new data. It will involve working closely with a multidisciplinary team and with children, and will also involve some research oriented analysis of data collected for clinical purposes. The age range of our subjects is primarily from early infancy to mid-adolescence, with some additional studies including young adults. An ample opportunity will also be provided to the candidate to self-explore and lead research.
Requirements:
Candidates must have PhD in neuroscience, physics, electrical engineering, computer science or other related fields. Prior experience in MRI analysis and EEG signal processing is required. Salary will be consistent with Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School policies for Postdoctoral trainees and will range between $45,000 to $55,000 depending upon qualifications and experience. Compensation also includes full staff benefits, including health insurance, and vacation time.
