PLEASE POST FOR ALL INTERESTED PARTIES

NEUROIMAGING RESEARCH POSITION AT THE VA BOSTON HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS

A research position is available in advanced neuroimaging at the VA Boston Health Care System (VABHCS) in the Jamaica Plain area of Boston. This position is in the new Neuroimaging Research Center at the VA. The candidate will have responsibilities related to development of the imaging center as well as in independent and collaborative research.

The applicant should have advanced skills in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) including utilization of sophisticated experimental design and functional paradigms, knowledge of software packages such as FSL and Freesurfer, and be knowledgeable about advanced analysis procedures such as functional connectivity (fcMRI) and independent component analysis (ICA) of functional imaging data. Experience with advanced data acquisition procedures is desirable. Some knowledge of Unix/Linux and MATLAB is required. Multimodal integration with dynamic (e.g. EEG/MEG/PET/ASL), structural (e.g. morphometry/DTI), or other imaging procedures (MRS/TMS) would be a plus.

The candidate should be interested in applying advanced functional imaging to the study of conditions relevant to the VA mission, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), cognitive neuroscience of learning and memory, cerebrovascular disease, genetic factors of disease, and age associated decline in cognitive function.

The VA is equipped with a 3T Siemens TIM Trio imager and a variety of hardware for stimulus presentation, eye tracking, and physiological monitoring.

The VA is an affiliate of Boston University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School as well as several other academic and health care education institutions, and is a site of The National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (NCPTSD).

Interested parties should send a CV and contact information for three references or questions to the Neuroimaging Search Committee at vaimaging@gmail.com.
