Postdoctoral Fellowship: Multimodal Neuroimaging

Description:

A 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 and autonomic monitoring
equipment, and will shortly have a near-infrared tissue spectrometer
(NIRS) machine.


The program’s 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), on co-registering
EEG and MEG with MRI, and on studying neurovascular coupling with EEG and
NIRS.  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, biomedical engineering,
electrical engineering, computer science or other related fields.
Candidates without this training and experience need not apply.  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.


Contact:

Interested applicants may send a CV and statement of interest addressing
background and specific pertinence of the candidate’s interest to Dr.
Martha R. Herbert at mherbert1 at partners.org and cc transcend at partners.org.


Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
