发帖数: 2 | 1 The Mind Research Network and Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute seek a
highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to perform independent research in the
area of imaging genetics. This position will be working with Dr. Jean Liu
and will work on MRI images and genetics, with emphasis on genetics effects
on the endo-phenotypic features derived from brain images and signals. The
Postdoctoral Fellow will be responsible for the development or selection of
proper statistic tests, algorithms and methods, as well as developing new
ideas that promote current research.
A Ph.D. in biomedical, electrical, math, psychology, or a related field is
required. Experience with Matlab programming is required and experience with
neuroimaging software (e.g., SPM, AFNI, FSL, etc) is preferred. Most of the
projects involve analyses of multi-modality data in a multi-disciplinary
setting, i.e. studying the genetics or epigenetic effect (from various data
of single nucleotide polymorphisms, copy number variation and DNA
methylation) on features of functional and structural MRI images, from
populations of substance dependence, schizophrenia as well as healthy
controls. Basic skills needed for the projects are Matlab programming,
algorithm developing, multivariate association statistics, and scientific
manuscript writing.
Qualified hires will also receive training in brain imaging (event-related
potentials (ERP) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data
analyses, and genetic data analyses.
The Mind Research Network is an independent non-profit organization
dedicated to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and
brain injury.
