Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin–Madison, Madison WI The Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging & Behavior at the Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin–Madison, is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to work on neuroimaging research studies of young children and individuals with intellectual and developmental disorders (IDDs). Areas of research include the development and evaluation of image acquisition and analyses for brain imaging studies of infants, young children, and individuals with autism, Down syndrome and fragile X syndrome. The Alexander and Dean labs at the Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging & Behavior have multiple projects using MRI and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Work is ongoing to develop rapid, quiet and motion-correction imaging methods to improve studies in these challenging populations. Studies are also under way to characterize brain structure, microstructure and function change during early brain development and how development is affected in IDDs. The postdoctoral research associates will have opportunities to participate in activities related to neuroimaging methods development and evaluation, study data collection and analyses, research publications, grant writing and are expected to make positive scholarly contributions to our interdisciplinary and highly collaborative research programs. Desired Qualifications: Ph.D. in medical physics, neuroscience, engineering and/or a related field. Prior experience with imaging techniques (e.g. MRI, DTI, fMRI, PET, fNIRS) is preferred. Experience with brain image analysis software tools, MATLAB, Python, C++ and/or other computer programming is highly desirable. Pulse sequence programming experience would be a plus but not required. The candidate is expected to have an emerging track record of publishing in academic journals, strong analytic skills, and capable of working within a collaborative environment. Interested candidates should send: 1) curriculum vitae; 2) cover letter outlining research interests, experience, and career goals; and 3) a list of three references to either Dr. Andy Alexander at alalexand...@wisc.edu<mailto:alalexand...@wisc.edu> or Dr. Douglas Dean at dean...@wisc.edu<mailto:dean...@wisc.edu>.
