Description:

Dynamic and well-funded laboratory currently has equipment capabilities in 1.5, 3, and 4T fMRI, near-infrared spectroscopy/optical tomography (NIRS), olfactometry, 64-channel EEG, eye-tracking, and laboratory as well as ambulatory measurement of ECG, respiration, blood pressure, EMG, EDA, etc. The PI is co-manager of a state-of-the-art dedicated research neuroimaging center (3T Siemens fMRI) with full-time tech and MR physicist support.

Position 1: Development of computational techniques for quantifying and modeling circuit dysregulation (power spectrum density, entropy, nonlinear system identification) using fMRI, near-infrared spectroscopy, and EEG. The candidate should be experienced in fMRI acquisition and analysis, ideally with a background in physics or mathematics (dynamical systems, complex systems analysis), computational neuroscience, control systems engineering, nonlinear heart-rate variability analysis techniques, systems neuroscience, near-infrared spectroscopy, or EEG.

Position 2: Instrumentation, including hardware/software, eye-tracking, signal processing, and interface with neuroimaging equipment. Background in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, or related field.

Position 3: Neuroimaging/regulation of emotion and stress (toddler and adult). The candidate should be experienced with fMRI acquisition and analysis, near-infrared spectroscopy, EEG, or eye-tracking, with a background in cognitive neuroscience or psychology. Preference for experience with classification methods (support vector machine), connectivity methods (dynamic causal modeling), infant/toddler/child protocols, and/or psychiatric research.

Position 4: Laboratory Manager. Scientific and administrative responsibilities, including study coordination, subject recruitment, data acquisition, processing, analysis, and administrative support (assistance with grant/manuscript preparation, purchasing/finance). The candidate should be experienced in fMRI acquisition and analysis, with experience in clinical research and a background in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, or related scientific field. This position specifically seeks candidates interested in long-term/permanent position.
