[visionlist] Postdoc position - UC Berkeley

[An Vu]

Postdoctoral Opening in Ultrafast fMRI Neuroscience

Research scientist/post doctoral positions available immediately at UC Berkeley, in the area of ultrafast functional imaging applied to neuroscience. The work will be to develop new neuroscience paradigms and data analysis utilizing the new high temporal resolution imaging pulse sequences (down to 100ms TR for whole brain, see: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21187930).

Candidates are sought with a strong background in cognitive neuroscience, vision science, or cognitive/computer modeling. Highly desirable is experience in MRI physics, pulse sequences and programming skills (C++, Matlab).

The majority of work will be conducted at the 3T Siemens scanner with 32-channel receiver system at at UC Berkeley. Opportunities to work on the 7 T and 10.5T at University of Minnesota will also be available. The work is funded in part by the NIH Human Connectome Project to optimize fMRI and diffusion HARDI imaging. The projects are a part of research conducted by Advanced MRI Technologies in collaboration with Siemens, University of California at Berkeley and University of Minnesota. The position is for one year with possibility of extension.


QUALIFICATIONS:

Required:
• Ph.D. in neuroscience, vision science, psychology, computer science or related field
• Strong background fMRI experimental design and analysis
• A record of publication and/or conference proceedings
• Computer programming (C++, Matlab, Python)

Desired experience:
• fMRI processing software (SPM, FSL, Freesurfer, Caret)
• Stimulus delivery software (E-prime, Psychtoolbox)
• Multiple OS environments (Windows, Mac, Linux)
• Diffusion, ASL and/or flow imaging
• As a subject in task fMRI (awake and still)

Interested individuals should e-mail their CV and cover letter to:
