We are seeking a highly
motivated and detail-oriented postdoctoral fellow with a track record in
research applying magnetic resonance imaging and image processing. The central
goal of the binational (Boston and Barcelona) CRCNS project is to advance our understanding
of the computational and neural mechanisms underlying working memory as well as
age-related changes to executive function. The successful candidate will lead
analyses of structural MRI (T1 TFE scans), resting-state fMRI, and diffusion
spectrum imaging (DSI) brain scans with an overall focus on brain morphometry
and connectivity. Data generated from the MRI scans will be correlated with
behavioral, physiological, and other anatomical data across the adult life
span. This work will be part of a highly interdisciplinary project
(psychophysics, imaging, anatomy, electrophysiological experiments, innovative
data analysis and computational modeling) and includes the possibility for
extended research stays at the Center for Mathematical Research in Barcelona,
Spain (Wimmer lab).
The appointment as a Boston
University School of Medicine postdoctoral fellow (supervised by Jennifer
Luebke and Ronald J.
Killiany) will be for at least 1 year with the possibility for extension
based on performance.
REQUIRED SKILLS:
*Assist in the acquisition of MR data
*Set up a pipeline for the analysis of the MRI scans
*Manage image sets/data and perform quality assurance on both
*Coordinate data sharing between collaborating laboratories in Boston and
Barcelona
*Preparation of manuscripts and scientific presentations
For questions or
informal inquiries contact: Dr. Jennifer Luebke at jluebke@bu.edu
Application
materials must be submitted through BU's HR website.
