[Srinivas Kota]

Dear All,


The University of Nebraska - Lincoln is seeking to hire a MR
Physicist/Scientist at the Research Assistant professor level to oversee a
new state-of-the-art fMRI facility that includes a new Skyra 3T Siemens
fMRI scanner within the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior at the
University of Nebraska, Lincoln.  This interdisciplinary Center engages a
broad spectrum of investigators and occupies a new 26,000 sq. ft. building.
In addition to the Skyra scanner, Center facilities include 12 high-density
EEG/ERP and NIRS systems, genetics and endocrine labs, as well as
256-electrode high density EEG/ERP and eye tracker systems integrated with
the fMRI that enable simultaneous recordings within test sessions.  The
Center is adjacent to the University’s Holland Computing Center with
supercomputer resources and support. The position will include
responsibility for ensuring smooth day-to-day operation of the scanner as
well as development of new pulse sequences and hardware to support
neuroimaging research conducted on the scanner.  The successful candidate
will have a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, biomedical engineering, electrical
engineering, or a related field, with at least five years of experience in
pulse sequence development, MRI hardware, image reconstruction
neuroimaging, or a combination of these fields. Previous experience on
Siemens scanners is preferred. The candidate will be expected to develop
his or her own successful research and grant-funded programs in
neuroimaging, pulse sequence development, image reconstruction, or related
academic domains. There will also be opportunities to mentor graduate
students and teach courses on MR Physics and other topics of interest to
the candidate.  In support of these goals, collaboration with Siemens and
other research groups/institutions will be encouraged. Compensation is
dependent on experience. The successful candidate will be affiliated with
an academic department based on a match between candidate background,
preferences and departmental interest.  Review of applications will begin
December 2, 2012 and continue until the position is filled. The start date
for this position is July 1, 2013. To be considered for the position,
please go to http://employment.unl.edu, requisition #120842 and complete
the Faculty/Academic Administrative Form. Interested applicants should then
submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a research statement,
pdfs of completed research papers, and letters of recommendation sent
directly from three referees to Dr. Dennis L. Molfese, Director, The Center
for Brain, Biology and Behavior, 238 Burnett Hall, University of Nebraska,
Lincoln, NE. 68588-0308. Lincoln, Nebraska is a vibrant college town of
approximately 260,000 that combines the cultural richness of a large
university with the affordability of a Midwestern city. The University of
Nebraska has an active National Science Foundation ADVANCE gender equity
program, and is committed to a pluralistic campus community through
affirmative action, equal opportunity, work‐life balance, and dual careers.
Inquiries should be sent to Nicole Earnest <nearnest2 at unl.edu>.
