<p> </p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A <span style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;">postdoctoral position</span> pursuing
multimodal imaging is available with the TRANSCEND Research Program (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.transcendresearch.org/" target="_blank"><span>www.transcendresearch.org</span></a>) at the
Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Charlestown, MA (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.martinos.org/" target="_blank"><span>www.martinos.org</span></a>) which is affiliated with
the <span style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136);">Massachusetts General Hospital</span>, Harvard and MIT. <span> </span>There is a second location at a clinical site,
the MGH-affiliated Lurie Family Center for <span style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136);">Autism</span>, 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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span> </span></p>
<p style="text-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 <span style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;">autism spectrum disorders</span>.<span> </span>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.<span> </span>This position will involve analysis of existing
multimodal imaging data and collection of new data.<span> </span>It will involve working closely with a
<span>multidisciplinary team</span> and with children, and will also involve some research
oriented analysis of data collected for clinical purposes.<span> </span>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>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Candidates must have PhD in
neuroscience, physics, <span>biomedical engineering</span>, electrical engineering, computer
science or other related fields. Candidates without this training and experience
need not apply.<span> </span>Prior experience in MRI
analysis and <span>EEG signal processing</span> is required. Salary will be consistent with
Massachusetts General Hospital, <span>Harvard Medical School policies</span> 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>
