    RESEARCH ASSISTANT AND POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
    IN FUNCTIONAL NEUROIMAGING.
    West Virginia School of Medicine
    Center for Advanced Imaging

    Available immediately: The Neuroimaging Laboratory is seeking a full-time
    RESEARCH ASSISTANT to assist in functional MR studies of visual perception
    in adults and children with visual disorders, and normal vision. The
    position offers a multifaceted research experience in a congenial
    environment with the potential for significant independent responsibility.
    The position provides excellent preparation for graduate school or related
    professions. Experiments will utilize a high performance 3T MR scanner,
    and advanced analysis techniques. The salary and benefits are competitive.
    Duties would include: subject recruitment and database management; helping
    to design, implement and run experiments, both behavioral alone and with
    fMRI; analyzing data; collaboration with data presentation and publication;
    cooperation with undergrad. & graduate students; attending lab meetings.

    The more experience with Macs, UNIX, and Matlab the better.
    Previous (cognitive/neuro/vision) research experience or knowledge of
    statistics is also desirable.

    Available January 2001 (negotiable): The Neuroimaging Laboratory is seeking
    a POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW to pursue functional MR studies of visual perception
    in adults and children with visual disorders, and normal vision. One
    fully-funded project will develop and evaluate treatment strategies for
    children and adults with amblyopia, using fMRI. Another project will study
    object representations in normal visual cortex. There is also the
    potential for independent agendas that take advantage of our high-field MR,
    PET, and burgeoning neuroscience/neuroimaging community. The minimum time
    commitment is 1-2 years. The salary and benefits are competitive.
    A fellow would be expected to design and implement experiments, publish
    results, and work as part of a team. Applicants should have a Ph.D., or
    M.D., in a relevant field, and be excited to take advantage of a new center
    with congenial collaborators and excellent institutional support.

    The neuroscience community is strong, and rapidly expanding at our medical
    school, e.g.:
