Postdoctoral Position in Multimodal Neuroimaging of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

A postdoctoral position is immediately available in The Translational Research Center for TBI and Stress Disorders (TRACTS) at VA Boston under the direction of David Salat. The primary responsibilities of the position include projects utilizing data from a large image database for advanced structural and functional brain imaging and connectivity. The candidate should have a background in engineering, computer science, neuroimaging, or a related discipline with some background in neuroscience and/or neuroimaging. The candidate would be expected to work with large datasets and therefore should have strong technical skills including scripting and data management. The individual would work with a large team as well as research participants. Prior programming, image processing using Freesurfer, FSL, AFNI and/or related software, and/or physiological measurement experience would be beneficial. The individual in this position would be expected to learn to use Linux based software for data processing as well as operation of the MRI console and how to use various hardware for physiological measurement and brain imaging. Interested candidates should contact Gino Jackson (Gino.Jackson@va.gov) with a resume and contact information for two references.
