Postdoctoral Position in Brain Repair after Stroke
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Modo Laboratory at the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine & Department of Radiology, University of Pittsburgh.
The focus of this position will be on conducting tissue engineering/cell transplantation studies in a rat model of stroke (see Bible, E et al 2009 Biomaterials).
The candidate must have a PhD in a life science (preferably neuroscience) and able to perform the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo).
Experience in behavioral analyses of animals, immunohistochemistry, magnetic resonance imaging and cell culture is desirable, but not a prerequisite.
The position requires working with a diverse research team and collaborators, and therefore strong communication skills in English are required.
The appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal for another 1-2 years.
Please submit a CV and three letters of reference (in one pdf file) to Dr Mike Modo: modomm@upmc.edu

MR Physicist post-doctoral position in Regenerative MR Imaging
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Modo Laboratory at the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine & Department of Radiology, University of Pittsburgh.
The focus of this position will be on developing MR imaging paradigms in the context of tissue engineering/cell transplantation studies in the brain.
The candidate must have a PhD in an MR imaging related subject (preferably MRI Physics) and able to implement and develop novel MRI sequences.
Specifically, we intend to develop CEST imaging of transplanted cells, optimize 19F contrast agent detection, but also further develop diffusion MRI in the context of tissue engineering.
The position requires working with a diverse interdisciplinary research team and collaborators, and therefore strong communication skills in English are required.
The appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal for another 1-2 years.
Please submit a CV and three letters of reference (in one pdf file) to Dr Mike Modo: modomm@upmc.edu

Research Position in fMRI
A position is now available in the Departments of Neurology and Radiology at Washington University in St. Louis.
Description:
A position in the Ances laboratory is currently available.
Research in this laboratory focuses on the application of functional MRI methods in their application to dementia (including Alzheimer’s disease and AIDS).
Anticipated activities entail task design creation, image reconstruction, and image data processing and analysis.
Opportunities will be provided for pursuing own research interests in multi-modality image analytical techniques.
Individuals with a background in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, physics, or computer science will be considered.
Resources utilized in these studies will include both 1.5 and 3.0T MRI scanners, experimental presentation software (e-Prime), and analysis platforms based in MATLAB and UNIX.
Qualifications:
Proficiency in C/C++ programming for data analysis algorithm development, proficiency in linear algebra, and familiarity with IDL, Unix, Linux, or Matlab. Skills that would be a plus: Freesurfer, Perl, ANALYZE, statistics packages such as R, SAS.
Requirements:
A Ph.D. with degrees in computer science, physics, biomedical or electrical engineering, or related fields will be considered.
