Position description The Department of Neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley seeks applications for an Assistant/Associate/Full Project Scientist in the area of brain MR Imaging in the Feinberg Lab. The goal of the project supporting this position is to advance scientific discovery using the NexGen 7T scanner, the most powerful 7T scanner in the world. The project supports the NexGen 7T scanner as a resource for the neuroscience research community to perform neuroimaging at the scale of cortical layers and columns. Towards this effort, the Project Scientist will participate and assist in leading NexGen 7T research projects. The position is part of a collaborative team-building effort in the Feinberg Lab, combining expert scientists in hardware, software and neuroscientists.
The Project Scientist will be expected to collaborate with academic and industrial partners, as well as mentor and train graduate and undergraduate students. The Project Scientist will also be expected to lead the development of novel imaging sequences and image reconstruction techniques to fully utilize the NexGen 7T scanner's high performance Impulse gradient system at 7T (200mT/m, 900 slew rate), 64 - 128 channel high-density receiver arrays, dynamic shim array, and 16 channel parallel transmit system.
In addition to experimental research, general support duties include:
Supporting project related pulse sequences and updating external users' sequence code to operate on the current NexGen 7T scanner platform.
Manage QA of the RF coils and scanner peripherals
Collaborate with industrial partners on the maintenance of scanner components
Contribute to the maintenance of lab SOPs and scan protocols
Data collection and storage management
Data processing, analysis, and image reconstruction
Additional duties include:
Preparation and submission of manuscripts
Preparation and submission of grants
Response to reviewers
Presentation at conferences
Attend weekly lab meetings and give regular presentation at these meetings
Qualifications Basic qualifications
(required at time of application): PhD (or equivalent international degree)
Preferred qualifications
PhD (or equivalent international degree) in neuroscience, bioengineering, electrical engineering, physics, computer science, or a related field
Demonstrated experience in high-resolution functional and structural MR-imaging of the brain
Track record of peer-reviewed publications and talks at conferences
Demonstrated experience in MRI sequence programming
Demonstrated experience in MRI reconstruction and parameter mapping
Demonstrated experience in high-field MR-imaging
Programming skills in C, C++, Python and MATLAB
Experience in MRI hardware engineering (e.g., RF systems & circuit design)
Ability to communicate research to public and potential partners
Experience in MRI pulse sequence design, MRI parameter mapping, MRI Image reconstruction, or MRI RF system development (any subset). This position requires experience in high-field, high-resolution functional and structural MR-imaging of the brain.
