Dear Dr. Pike,

This is a tenure-track job ad that my department has out for Clinical Imaging in the PERFORM Centre. I would hope some good neuroscience imaging experts would apply. The Centre is equipped with a 3-T MRI, capable of performing functional brain imaging. I am hoping you can transmit this information to good postdocs in your Center. While the PERFORM looks at whole-body problems, I for one believe that the root of many improvements in health sciences will come from a better understanding of brain-body relations. If any brain scientist is interested, I would hope they would hear about this ad.

For details on the ad, see the link (http://artsandscience.concordia.ca/employmentopportunities/tenure-trackappointments/?f=detail&LTA=439). The text is pasted below.

Kind regards

Richard

The ideal candidate will possess advanced training in clinical imaging with a research interest in human health outcomes using biomedical imaging devices associated with nuclear medicine and radiology. Candidates in the areas of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, oncology, neurology, or related human research whose profile is consistent with PERFORM�s mission are particularly encouraged to apply. The PERFORM Centre houses an imaging suite which includes a PET-CT, a 3T-MRI, a SPECT-CT, cardiac and musculoskeletal ultrasound units, and a DXA.

In addition to being expected to develop and maintain an externally funded research program, the successful candidate will participate in interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate education within the Department of Exercise Science, and will take an active role in student mentorship and in the supervision of research opportunities for students.

Applications must consist of a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae, copies of recent publications, a statement of teaching philosophy/interests, a statement of research achievements, a 5-year research plan that will incorporate activities in the PERFORM Centre and evidence of teaching effectiveness.
