Postdoctoral and Research Assistant Positions Available in structural and
functional neuroimaging.
Massachusetts General Hospital-Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical
Imaging, Charlestown MA
PLEASE POST FOR ALL INTERESTED PARTIES.
START DATE: Immediately
Full-time postdoctoral and research assistant positions are available in
structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging at the Athinoula A.
Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in the Department of Radiology at
Massachusetts General Hospital.
***********************
The postdoctoral position will focus on the development of novel analysis
procedures for the advanced analysis of cerebral white matter anatomy and
pathology under the guidance of Dr. Bruce Fischl, and the translation of
these techniques in the study of normal aging and neurological diseases
including Huntington's and Alzheimer's disease. This work will involve the
development of structural imaging procedures as well as the potential
integration of these morphometric techniques with information from
diffusion tensor imaging. This position requires a PhD in computer science
or a related field. Additional skills such as knowledge of Matlab and c
are required, and some familiarity with MRI acquisition and analysis is
strongly preferred.
**********************
The research assistant position will focus on the application of
structural and functional image analysis procedures in the study of brain
aging and neurological diseases including Alzheimer's and Huntington's
disease. Other tasks include participant scanning, data organization,
statistical analysis, and additional lab duties. This individual will be
working with patients, so excellent interpersonal, organizational and
communication skills are required. This position requires a Bachelor of
Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, and some prior research experience is
preferred. Familiarity with Linux/Unix and Matlab would be extremely
useful. A two year commitment is required. This is an excellent position
for a recent college graduate who wants to spend two or more years in a
research setting before going on to graduate or medical school.
