Research Technician in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Rochester NY

The Rochester Center for Brain Imaging  (University of Rochester, 
Rochester, NY) is seeking a research technician to perform data 
collection, preprocessing, and analysis of functional, structural, 
and diffusion tensor MRI data, and development of software tools for 
same.

Applicants must have a strong background in Digital Image Processing 
and hold a BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering or 
a related technical area.  Responsibilities include: implementing 
custom software solutions for neuroscience research studies and 
conducting individual projects aimed at the development of improved 
computational methods for functional and morphological neuroimaging. 
The successful candidate will be well versed in scientific 
computation on Unix or Mac workstations and possess good skills in 
Matlab and C programming.  Additional knowledge in physics, 
statistics or psychology, and/or experience in the processing and 
analysis of MR images (including packages such as AFNI, FSL,

state-of-the-art facility equipped with a Siemens Trio 3T MR system 
and high-performance computing resources, with a full-time staff of 
cognitive neuroscientists, computer scientists, engineers, and 
physicists. Opportunities exist to collaborate with faculty in the 
departments of Brain & Cognitive Science, Center for Visual Science, 
Imaging Sciences/Radiology, Biomedical Engineering and Computer 
Science, among others.

Salary commensurable with experience.  Start date flexible but a 
minimum of two year commitment required. If interested, please send a 
CV and short statement of your interest, as well as the name and
