Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position in Neuroimaging of Aging
Dr. David Zhu’s research team at Albert Einstein College of Medicine is recruiting a postdoctoral research fellow in neuroimaging with a focus on brain image data analysis. This research fellow will support and conduct neuroimaging research on our NIH funded Einstein Aging Study. He/she will also work on the development of brain image data analysis techniques, under the guidance of Dr. Zhu. He/she will have a unique opportunity to work with a highly collaborative research team, with exposure to cutting-edge research in neuroimaging, aging, clinical neuroscience and vascular physiology. He/she will also gain valuable technical experience by working on image data from various MRI platforms.
Montefiore-Einstein is nationally recognized for clinical excellence. The Einstein Aging Study was established at Einstein in 1980 and has been continuously funded by the NIH. The successful candidates will work in the Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center (Radiology) (Overview | Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center | Albert Einstein College of Medicine | Montefiore Einstein), where there are eight imaging research faculty members and a research-dedicated Philips Ingenia Elition 3T human MR scanner and a new Bruker 7T animal MRI scanner.
The initial appointment is for one year and is renewable for the second and further years based on performance.
Requirements:
• Ph.D. degree with a strong training in MR image data analysis.
• Excellent Linux skills.
• Matlab and other programming skills.
• Prior research experience in task and resting-state fMRI, ASL perfusion, DTI and SWI/QSM is valuable.
• Experience in using common brain image data analysis packages (AFNI, FSL, SPM and FreeSurfer) is helpful.
• Strong skill in writing scientific papers.
For more information and application, please contact Dr. David Zhu (Professor of Radiology and Associate Director of Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center) via email: david.zhu@einsteinmed.edu.
