The Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging Center at Florida International
University (FIU) in Miami is seeking a full-time, benefits-earning
Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow with expertise in magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) physics, with emphasis on functional MRI and diffusion-
weighted MRI. The successful candidate will join a team of investigators
to develop, support, facilitate, and coordinate daily data collection
activities for the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study:
a landmark multi-site NIH study to assess the short- and long-term
impact of substance use on brain development
(http://addictionresearch.nih.gov).
The successful candidate will develop, deploy, and optimize multiband
fMRI and high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) acquisition
protocols for use at 3T. She/he will contribute to deploying these MRI
techniques, as well as prospective motion correction (PROMO), and fast,
integrated distortion correction methods. These methods will be
collectively applied in a large, longitudinal study designed to advance
addiction science through a strong focus on developmentally informed
assessment. The primary duties/responsibilities of the position involve
direct engagement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data collection
efforts, including (but not limited to): protocol development and
management, execution of research plan, implementation of experiments,
data acquisition, and data management.
Applicants must have a PhD in physics, biomedical engineering,
radiological sciences, computer science, or a related field. Candidates
must have a strong background in MR physics, as well as strong skills in
computer programming (e.g., python, MATLAB). Applicants must have
experience in MR scanner operation and software, image reconstruction,
advanced data analysis (e.g., FSL, AFNI). Experience in multiband fMRI
and/or HARDI imaging technology, and familiarity with data harmonization
across multi-center imaging studies are highly desired. The applicant
should ideally possess outstanding writing and communication skills as
demonstrated by a successful publication record.
The starting date for this position is January 1, 2016, and the salary
will be commensurate with experience. To apply, please include all
documents in one PDF file: cover letter, CV, a one-page statement
describing your qualifications and research interests, contact
information for two references, and copies of up to two of your
publications. Applications should be sent via email to: c...@fiu.edu.
Review of applications will begin immediately.
For informal enquiries regarding this position, please contact Dr.
Angela Laird (ala...@fiu.edu).
