Imaging at MGH / Harvard Medical School<br></p>
<p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong><br></strong></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="justify">A two year postdoctoral
position pursuing multimodal imaging is available with the TRANSCEND
Research Program (<font color="#0000ff"><u><a href="http://www.transcendresearch.org/">www.transcendresearch.org</a></u></font>)
at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Charlestown, MA
(<font color="#0000ff"><u><a href="http://www.martinos.org/">www.martinos.org</a></u></font>)
which is affiliated with the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard
and MIT. There is a second location at a clinical site, the
MGH-affiliated Lurie Family Center for Autism, where we have a 128
lead EGI EEG in a shielded room as well as a photogrammetry machine.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="justify">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="justify">The program’s emphasis
is on pathophysiologically oriented brain research and application of
advanced imaging acquisition and analysis techniques to neurological
and sensory aspects of autism spectrum disorders. Emphasis will be
on MRI (DTI, spectroscopy, morphometry, ASL) and on co-registering
EEG and MEG with MRI. This position will involve analysis of
existing multimodal imaging data and collection of new data. It will
involve working closely with a multidisciplinary team and with
children, and will also involve some research oriented analysis of
data collected for clinical purposes. The age range of our subjects
is primarily from early infancy to mid-adolescence, with some
additional studies including young adults. An ample opportunity will
also be provided to the candidate to self-explore and lead research.</p>

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Requirements:</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;" align="justify">Candidates must have PhD
in neuroscience, physics, electrical engineering, computer science or
other related fields. Prior experience in MRI analysis and EEG signal
processing is required. Salary will be consistent with Massachusetts
General Hospital, Harvard Medical School policies for Postdoctoral
trainees and will range between $45,000 to $55,000 depending upon
qualifications and experience. Compensation also includes full staff
benefits, including health insurance, and vacation time.</p>
