Research Assistant I
About The Position
The position covers the following projects: Imaging physeal structure and activity to evaluate physeal injury (NIH-funded): The project acquires novel physeal-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) information with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to correlate imaging features with physeal injury and growth in children with skeletal deformities. The tasks include: Recruit volunteer and patient subjects for MRI scans: consent subjects, maintain project databases, help oversee scanning, accompany subjects during scanning, communicate with families before and after study visits, obtaining pertinent information and stadiometry (height and limb length measurements). Musculoskeletal imaging, physeal modeling, advanced DTI processing: Work directly with radiologists, biomedical scientists and engineers to maintain and perform processing of advanced MRI pipelines and extract meaningful imaging features for correlation with clinical information. Assist with literature reviews, perform analysis, and assist with scientific writing for manuscript preparation and conference presentation Assist with collaboration with other academic partners at premier academic/clinical centers by working with other scientists, physicians and research coordinators at these centers to coordinate recruitment and collection of project data. undefined Pediatric musculoskeletal MRI – prospective and retrospective studies (For projects related to task 1) Submit, update and amend IRB submissions Keep data records, including maintaining project databases Performing image segmentation (delineation of anatomical structures on medical images)
