[Eeglablist] Postdoctoral Fellowship: Multimodal Neuroimaging -MGH/Harvard Medical School

[Sheraz Khan]

Postdoctoral Fellowship: Multimodal Neuroimaging

 

Description:

A postdoctoral position pursuing
multimodal imaging is available with the TRANSCEND Research Program (www.transcendresearch.org) at the
Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Charlestown, MA (www.martinos.org) 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 and autonomic
monitoring equipment, and will shortly have a near-infrared tissue spectrometer
(NIRS) machine.

 

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), on co-registering EEG and
MEG with MRI, and on studying neurovascular coupling with EEG and NIRS.  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.

 

Requirements:

Candidates must have PhD in
neuroscience, physics, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, computer
science or other related fields. Candidates without this training and experience
need not apply.  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.

 

Contact:

Interested applicants may send a CV and statement of
interest addressing background and specific pertinence of the candidate’s
interest to Dr. Martha R. Herbert at mherbert1 at partners.org
and cc transcend at partners.org.

 

Applications will be considered until the position is
filled.
