Postdoctoral Scholars Physiological MRI (Two Positions)

Two postdoctoral training positions are available immediately in the Germuska lab (UC Davis Physiological Imaging Group), in the Department of Radiology at UC Davis. The successful candidates will develop independent research projects focused on the development of MRI methods and data analysis to quantify human brain function and physiology.

 

We will develop methods to map human brain energy consumption, cerebral blood flow, and cerebral vascular reactivity. The research will involve the optimisation and development of data acquisition methods, the application of techniques to human participants, and the development of analysis methods to extract physiological information from MRI data.

 

Knowledge of MRI methods and scientific programming would be a significant advantage. The position would suit a researcher with a physics/engineering background interested in applied imaging research or a psychology/clinical imaging researcher with experience of MRI and data analysis.

 

Basic qualifications (required at time of appointment)

Graduate degree (PhD or equivalent) in medical physics, biomedical engineering, neuroscience, psychology, or a related field. The candidate should have experience with MRI and human research. Prior experience with arterial spin labelling, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, quantitative susceptibility mapping, BOLD fMRI, and biophysical modelling are a plus. The ideal candidate will have strong interpersonal, communication, and decision-making skills and the ability to work well both independently and as part of a team.
