Please note: We get many inquiries about positions, and are not able to respond to every one. In particular, we are not able to consider short-term or summer positions, or positions for high school students.

Current available positions:

Postdoctoral Fellow in PET and MRI
We are seeking a highly motivated and creative individual eager to acquire new skills in a dynamic environment for a postdoctoral fellow position. The primary project involves PET imaging in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease and the integration of PET and MR techniques. Previous training in PET, functional connectivity MRI, or diffusion-weighted MRI is required. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background in PET or MR imaging and analysis and a willingness to explore and develop new analytic methods for multi-modality imaging analysis.

Responsibilities: The successful applicant will be responsible for data acquisition on PET/MRI scanners at the Translational & Molecular Imaging Institute at Mount Sinai, image analysis and statistical modeling, development of analytic techniques, and integration of PET, functional connectivity MRI, and diffusion MRI data with other imaging modalities. The direct supervisor will be Trey Hedden, PhD, with opportunities to interact with others in Mount Sinai Alzheimer’s Disease and neuroimaging research communities.

Programmer
The primary responsibility for the position is development and implementation of image data processing piplelines for PET and MRI data collected from cognitively normal older adults and patients with mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases. The position will involve 1) coordination and integration of databases to store and manage different data types, 2) development of processing pipelines for analysis of neuroimaging data (PET and MRI), 3) coding analytic procedures, and 4) serving as an interface between researchers and the infrastructure provided by Scientific Computing at Mount Sinai. The direct supervisor is Dr. Trey Hedden, but the position offers exposure to multiple lab groups that employ different methodological techniques. The position requires a high degree of motivation and self-sufficiency.

Requirements:
-M.S. or equivalent with a background in computer science, engineering, neuroscience, or a related field (B.S. or B.A. candidates with demonstrated experience will be considered)
-High-level programming expertise in one or more languages and in MATLAB, Python, SQL, and/or R
-Excellent communication and writing skills, organizational and planning skills
