From boris.bernhardt at mcgill.ca Wed Aug 2 13:56:22 2023 From: boris.bernhardt at mcgill.ca (Boris Bernhardt) Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2023 17:56:22 +0000 Subject: [BIC-announce] Fwd: Neuroimaging methods job (open rank) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <9f7ac357-523b-4275-8882-55c176b675e5@Spark> Hi BIC and FYI - faculty job ad >>>>>> UT Southwestern Medical Center Advanced Imaging Research Center Faculty position (open rank) in Neuroimaging methods development The Advanced Imaging Research Center (AIRC) at the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas / Texas / US invites applications for an open rank (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor depending on qualification) tenure-track faculty position in the field of methodological development for neuroimaging. Potential topics include but are not limited to the development of innovative neuroimaging data analysis methods for human and pre-clinical applications and / or human 3T and 7T neuroimaging data acquisition methods. Research areas of interest include (I) functional MRI (i.e. ultra-high resolution/layer specific, networks, novel analysis algorithms, distortion free acquisition); (II) diffusion weighted MRI (i.e. advanced modelling, model validation, spinal cord / heart); (III) susceptibility weighted (SWI), quantitative (T1/T2/MT) and anatomical (morphometry) MRI (i.e. processing and quantification, motion correction, parallel transmission); (IV) functional and quantitative perfusion and angiography MRI and (V) machine-learning based reconstruction and analysis approaches. Integration of neuro MRI with complementary functional neuroimaging methods such as simultaneous EEG or PET or cross-validation against invasive methods to enhance the physiological interpretation of neuroimaging contrasts is also a topic of great interest. Since its creation in 2005, the AIRC has established a track record of excellence in metabolic imaging including the development of MRI contrast agents, a hyperpolarization program, magnetic resonance spectroscopy as well as the investigation of tissue extracts by NMR after 13C labelled isotope infusion. Due to the recent establishment of the O?Donnell Brain Institute at UTSW and to better support an active clinical and basic science neuroimaging community at UTSW, UTD and UTA we aim to develop a strong MRI neuroimaging methodology expertise to complement the existing focus. UTSW has an international reputation in clinical and basic science excellence. There have been six Nobel Prize recipients since 1985. AIRC provides access to human and preclinical MRI scanners to faculty and students at the three University of Texas academic institutions in north Texas to advance human imaging studies and translational research in animals. The AIRC currently consists of 12 primary faculty and more than 20 secondary or adjunct faculty and will expand by about 5 primary faculty in near future. AIRC is equipped with three human research-only 3T MR scanners (Philips Ingenia, Siemens Prisma, GE 750w), one human 7T MR scanner (Philips, first DDAS 7T system worldwide, software R5.9, parallel transmission fully integrated, state-of- the art neuroimaging scan protocols, enhanced multinuclear capability), three state-of-the art small animal MR scanners (Bruker 3T with HP capability, 7T with PET insert, 9.4T with rat and mouse brain cryo-coils and strong gradients), two hyperpolarization setups (Spin Aligner for preclinical and SpinLab for human application), 3 NMR spectrometers (Bruker) and a MRI contrast agent chemistry lab. The human and preclinical MRI and NMR facilities inside the AIRC recently underwent renovation and comprehensive hardware and software upgrades and are at the latest state-of-the-art. The nearby Radiology Department offers access to a cyclotron for producing radiotracers, small animal and human PET/CT and SPECT/CT scanners, bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging for rodents and a highly focused ultra- sound (HIFU) system integrated with pre-clinical MRI. The installation of integrated human PET-MRI and MRI-HIFU systems (Radiology) and two integrated MR-LINAC (Radiation Oncology) were completed recently. Applicants for these positions should have a strong scientific record of accomplishment in neuroimaging methods development including novel data analysis and/or acquisition approaches and/or innovative approaches to validate neuroimaging contrasts supported by respective publications and grants. Experience in supervising graduate students and/or postdoctoral researchers is preferred. Applicants should have a degree in electrical engineering, physics, computational science, biomedical engineering or applied mathematics. Experience in either the development of novel and comprehensive data analysis pipelines or MRI sequence development is required. Faculty are expected to develop an independent, externally-funded research program and actively engage with clinical and basic research faculty across campus to apply the latest neuroimaging technologies to probe human brain function in health and diseases. The position is available immediately and the search is going to continue until suitable candidates are found. The rank (assistant/associate/full) is subject to negotiation and depends on the previous experience and track record of accomplishment of the candidate. The offer will include an internationally competitive start-up package and an attractive salary. UT Southwestern Medical Center is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Women, minorities, veterans and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply. Applications should include a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, a list of publications (peer- reviewed original articles; review articles; book chapters; conference contributions; patents; other), a list of grants (please clearly distinguish grants as PI, as Co-PI and as personnel funded by the grant); a list of supervised students (Bachelor, Master, PhD) and PostDocs; a comprehensive summary of past research experience and future research interests (max 4 pages); PhD and Master certificates and respective transcripts; PDF copies of 5 most important publications and three references (contact details only).
