Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position Neuroimaging Analysis of Human Brain Connectivity in Dementia www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/working/employment#20160516 The Laboratory for Computational Neuroimaging at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging invites applications for a postdoctoral Research Fellow position at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Funded by the BrightFocus Foundation, the project consists of human brain connectivity analysis and its application in studying Alzheimer’s disease. The appointment starts as early as September 2016, and is for two years with the possibility of a third year based on performance and the availability of funding. The project involves analyzing structural and functional brain networks through diffusion-weighted and functional MRI, and examining their relationship with different stages of dementia. In particular, we would like to identify the relative roles of direct and indirect neuronal connections. The Research Fellow will be supervised by Dr. Iman Aganj, with close collaboration with Dr. Bruce Fischl and Dr. Reisa Sperling. The candidate is required to have: · a Ph.D. in engineering, neuroscience, or a related field by the start date, · strong programming skills in MATLAB or a similar environment, and · a medical image analysis background. Familiarity and experience with any of the following will be a plus: connectomics, neuroimaging, diffusion-weighted MRI, functional MRI, graph theory, machine learning, dementia studies, mathematical modeling, Linux operating system. Interested applicants should send a cover letter describing research interests and experience, an up-to-date CV, and names and contact information of three references to: i...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu
