The primary responsibility of the postdoctoral fellow is to carry out research to support experiments for Dr. Lin and other scientists in the Hurvitz Brain Sciences Program.
Duties include but are not limited to:
- Develop novel MRI sequence and reconstructions for high spatiotemporal resolution imaging of structural and functional MRI
- Work with clinical and industrial collaborators in cooperation with the Senior Scientist. Collect and analyze data for collaborative projects
- Participate in abstract, poster, paper, and grant writing
- Provide direct supervision for assigned junior lab members, including graduate and undergraduate students.
ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS:
- D. in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, physics, or mathematics
- A track record of international peer-reviewed journal publication about MRI acquisition and reconstruction. The experience on pulse sequence programming on Siemens scanners is preferred.
- Excellent communication skills
- Well-developed interpersonal skills: ability to listen and communicate, as needed to foster a team approach to research
