Research Assistant I
About The Position
The position encompasses projects focused on imaging the occipital nerves to assess occipital neuralgia (NIH-funded). This project aims to develop novel, high-resolution, three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to depict and detect abnormalities of the occipital nerves that may be responsible for migraine headaches. The goal is to correlate imaging features with those obtained using artificial intelligence processing of pain drawings (i.e., NerveAI). Additional projects include Neuromuscular and musculoskeletal MRI – prospective and retrospective studies. HSS is consistently among the top-ranked hospitals for orthopedics and rheumatology by U.S. News & World Report. As a recipient of the Magnet Award for Nursing Excellence, HSS was the first hospital in New York City to receive the distinguished designation. Whether you are early in your career or an expert in your field, you will find HSS an innovative, supportive and inclusive environment. Working with colleagues who love what they do and are deeply committed to our Mission, you too can be part of our transformation across the enterprise.
