Postdoctoral Scholar

(Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY)

The Translational and Molecular Imaging Institute (TMII) at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai  is seeking a post-doctoral scholar to develop novel MRI techniques with a focus in neuroimaging. This is  an excellent opportunity to conduct innovative MR research as a member of a team of technical and  clinical experts with access to state-of-the-art imaging equipment housed in the newly constructed Hess  Center for Science and Medicine. The position will be in the high field neuroimaging and spectroscopy  group led by Dr. Priti Balchandani, Director of the High Field MRI Program at TMII.

Position responsibilities include independent research, contributions to publications and grants, and
leadership roles within the new Institute. Opportunities for teaching also exist. The candidate should
have a PhD in Engineering, Physics or a related field, and should have some experience and interest in  RF pulse design and MRI pulse sequence programming. A significant portion of the work will be
development of novel techniques for the human 7T MRI scanner at Mount Sinai.

Salary will be commensurate with the cost of living in New York. Subsidized housing close to the
Mount Sinai campus is available.

The Translational and Molecular Imaging Institute is advancing the science of imaging, from the
development of new visualization technology to improved contrast agents. The brain imaging program
will utilize cutting-edge instrumentation, including multiple research-dedicated human systems (7T, 3T, 1.5T, integrated MR/PET, PET/CT, MDCTs), among other instruments. These imaging capabilities are part of a new 30,000 sq ft state-of-the-art imaging facility. TMII is directed by Dr. Zahi Fayad, a leader in multimodal cardiovascular imaging, and consists of several faculty members with research interests  ranging from neuroimaging to nanomedicine.

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai attracts outstanding scientists, clinicians, and students, all of whom share a deep commitment to expanding biomedical knowledge, providing expert clinical care and serving the community. Working in close partnership with The Mount Sinai Hospital, the Icahn School of Medicine serves one of the most diverse and complex patient populations in the world.
