A Postdoctoral Research Associate position in advanced MRI acquisition, analysis, and modeling is available in the Department of Radiology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, under the supervision of Dr. Merry Mani. The successful candidate will work on the development, validation, and translation of cutting-edge MRI techniques for imaging slow-flowing neurofluids and brain microstructure in the healthy human brain, with future applications in neurodegenerative disorders. This position supports a broader effort to understand brain clearance mechanisms and their relationship to traumatic brain injury and long-term neurological health. The overarching goal is to create new imaging methodologies with improved sensitivity and specificity to study the interaction of neurofluids and neurodegeneration, along with detecting early microstructural changes, by combining advanced acquisition, reconstruction, and modeling approaches. The position is based in a state-of-the-art neuroimaging research facility that houses advanced 3T human and 9.4T preclinical MRI scanners, both equipped with ultra-high-performance gradient systems.
