Post Doc Positions

• Postdoctoral Position in Functional MRI: Signal Processing and Dynamics

University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California, USA
Posted:  10 May 2007

Description: An NIH funded postdoctoral position is available in the area of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signal processing and dynamics. Working in a small group, the postdoctoral researcher will participate in the development of innovative fMRI signal processing methods, MRI pulse sequence development, dynamic models of the fMRI response, and experimental studies of the fMRI response in both healthy and diseased populations. Our research is currently based at the UCSD Center for Functional MRI, which houses two research-dedicated GE 3T short bore scanners and a 7T small animal system.

Please send a CV and the names and contact information for 3 references by e-mail to Dr. Thomas Liu (ttliu@ucsd.edu). Interested candidates may also arrange to discuss the position at the 2007 ISMRM meeting in Berlin.

• Postdoctoral Position in Arterial Spin Labeling

University of California, San Diego, Center for Functional MRI, San Diego, CA, USA
Posted:  13 April 2007

Description: The Center for Functional MRI at the University of California, San Diego has an NIH funded postdoctoral position open in the area of Arterial Spin Labeling. Three general areas of development include Velocity Selective ASL, Vessel Encoded ASL, and Cardiac ASL. Working in a small group, the postdoctoral researcher will participate in the development of pulse sequences, RF pulse design, computer modeling of the ASL signal, simulation and measurement of tagging efficiencies, testing methods in phantoms and human subjects, data processing, GUI development and image display methods.

Facilities: At the UCSD Center for fMRI, two GE 3T short bore scanners, as well as a 7T small animal system with a GE console are dedicated for research scanning.

Qualifications: Applicant must have a PhD in Biomedical or Electrical Engineering, a Physical Science, or related field. Candidate must be adept at scientific computing, and experience with Matlab and C is desirable. A strong background in MR physics/engineering is desirable, and experience in EPIC pulse sequence programming is helpful.
