About The Position

The Center for Functional and Molecular Imaging (CFMI) is developing a research program utilizing various imaging techniques. This position involves working with investigators on extending current fMRI acquisition and analysis techniques, as well as conducting research. The role has two main components: operating the 3.0T MRI scanner and carrying out research studies in the lab. Responsibilities include unsupervised collection of MRI data, primary responsibility for data organization, processing, and analysis, and assisting with data interpretation, including manuscript preparation. Strong technical skills are needed for quality control procedures. Both components require working with people, including sensitive populations such as neurodivergent individuals, Alzheimer’s disease patients, stroke patients, individuals with autism spectrum disorder, and children. The scanning component involves operating the 3.0T MRI scanner after training, ensuring the safety of those being scanned, and working with users on scheduling and ensuring adequate understanding of MR safety.
