- Department Specific Job Description:Postdoctoral position for Neuroimaging Research in nonhuman primates at Emory UniversityA full-time postdoctoral position is open at Emory University (Division of Developmental and Cognitive Neuroscience, Emory National Primate Research Center –ENPRC/EPC) to conduct brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) research of long-term effects of stress in nonhuman primates.
- Studies involve analyses of long-term impact of early life stress on brain circuits involved in cognitive executive function, stress/emotional regulation and reward during adulthood (funded by NIH/NIA and NIH/NIDA), including focus on stress-induced accelerated aging processes.
- The studies and position involve processing and analysis of brain imaging data, including structural magnetic resonance (MRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), resting state functional connectivity MRI (rs-fcMRI) and MR Spectroscopy (MRS) datasets using in-house pipelines as well as open-source software.
- Preferred Requirements:PhD degree in Neuroscience (including Behavioral/Cognitive Neuroscience), and/or Biomedical Engineering, Psychology, Computer Science, MR Physics or related fields and research experience in processing and analysis of brain MRI/DTI/rs-fcMRI/MRS data (image registration, skull-stripping, atlas building, quality control), is required, preferably applied to the nonhuman primate brain.
- Preferred languages are Unix/Linux scripting, Shell scripts, Python, Docker, MATLAB, R. Experience using MRI software packages such as FSL, ANTS, AFNI, FreeSurfer, CIVET (and related programs), as well as with Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) formatting will be strongly considered.
