The UCSF Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging is looking for a researcher with strong interests in neuroimaging interested in a Specialist position at UCSF. We are a neurodevelopment and neuroimaging lab. Specialists (research assistant) appointed at the junior rank must possess a baccalaureate degree (or equivalent degree) or four years of equivalent research experience (e.g., with instrumentation and research equipment, social science research methods, or creative activities). Specialists appointed at the Assistant or Associate rank must possess a master’s degree (or equivalent degree) or at least five years of experience demonstrating expertise in the relevant specialization. Specialists appointed at the full rank must possess a PhD degree or ten or more years of experience demonstrating expertise in the relevant specialization. The ideal candidate will have 1+ years of lab experience (beyond coursework lab experience) and familiarity with one or more of the following: Matlab, R, Linux/Unix, C+ or other statistical or MRI image analysis software such as Freesurfer or FSL. We are seeking candidates with a strong background in neurosciences or biomedical engineering who have the ability to perform independent research in addition to supporting the lab. Candidates interested in working in the lab for at least 2 years are preferred. Combining neuroimaging, genetics and computational methods, we are primarily interested in elucidating mechanisms underlying neurodevelopment. Working in close collaboration with local collaborators at UCSF and investigators at UCSD, University of Oslo, and Harvard University/Martinos Center, the specialist will assist in a) developing a novel automated MRI atlas of the human brainstem and cerebellum, b) validating this hindbrain atlas on neuroimaging pediatric datasets with brain malformations, and c) organize and analyze our large database of pediatric neuroimaging and genetics datasets that we have in-house. UC San Francisco seeks candidates whose experience, teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence.
