[Neuroimaging] FW: Research Associate or Postdoc in University of Maryland

[redhatw at gmail.com]

Research Associate or Postdoc of fMRI signal processing

 

We have two positions open in fMRI signal processing.

 

Location: Inner Harbor Area in Baltimore, Maryland.

 

Hosting Institute: University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB). UMB and UMD are
the two flagship research campuses of the University of Maryland and have
become a joint research entity since 2016 which has been ranked among top 10
research institutions in the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Higher
Education Research and Development Survey. UMB locates in the Inner Harbor
Area, which is the most beautiful and the safest part of Baltimore.
University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) is consistently growing in
US News ranking (nearly one step up per year from #42 in 2006 to #27 in
2020). The total funding increased by 74%. Our center: Center for Advanced
Imaging Research (CAIR) was newly launched in 2018. The number of faculty
and the total amount of fundings both nearly doubled in the past two years. 

 

Hosting lab: Professor Ze Wang's imaging computing laboratory.

https://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/pi/Ze-Wang-PhD/. We started in UMB since
2019 and have been rapidly expanding with a more than 2x increase of total
funding since I started here 2.5 years ago. 

 

Benefit: highly competitive salary; position can be either a junior faculty
or a postdoc depending on CV and candidate's potential; great opportunities
to work on the frontiers in machine learning, image reconstruction, advanced
fMRI signal processing, and fun brain development and cognitive
neuroscience; great opportunities to build academic careers.

 

Position 2: fMRI processing. This position is supported by a new R01 for up
to 4 years or longer. Our overarching goals are to develop and evaluate deep
learning-based method and new resting state fMRI processing strategies. We
are particularly interested in data mining (auto-clustering and
classification, signal detection etc), machine learning (including deep
learning), time series analysis, and graph analysis (graph network and graph
spectral processing). Related projects ongoing in the lab include deep
learning-based ASL perfusion MRI processing, brain entropy and coherence
mapping. The ideal candidates should have method development experience in
fMRI or neuroimaging signal processing. Background in electrical
engineering, computer science, or mathematics is highly preferred. Python or
Matlab programming skills are required. Experience on multi-band fMRI data
processing is considered a plus. 

 

Position 3: neuroimaging-based aging and development research. This position
will be supported by a R21 grant. This project can either focus on aging/AD
or brain development. The major research vehicle is cerebral blood flow and
resting state BOLD fMRI. Candidates should have publication experience in
related topics. Experience of longitudinal analysis is preferred.   

 

Candidates for the three positions will have opportunities to learn new
skills from MRI, signal processing, machine learning, and translational
research, and will have lots of opportunities to build an academic career
toward independence.

 

Interested candidates should send CV, personal statement (including research
statement), and future plan to Dr. Ze Wang:
