Postdoctoral Fellow, CDB
Apply NowCompany: Child Mind Institute
Location: New York, NY 10025
Description:
Summary:
Child Mind Institute is recruiting a post-doctoral fellowship interested in studying brain structure and function connectome using multimodal neuroimaging techniques. Particular focus will be placed on (1) brain development and cross-species comparison between human and nonhuman primates based on both in vivo and ex vivo MRI imaging data. (2) Development of valid and robust tests to integrate with the preprocessing pipelines for multimodal datasets (e.g. multimodal MRI, EEG, eye-tracking, etc.). (3) Translational models will be employed as needed to understand phenomenology underlying biomarkers, as well as establish their validity. The incumbent will assist in the development of short- and long-term work goals for data analysts, as well as provide supervision and mentoring for junior research staff.
Reporting to Ting Xu this is an exempt full-timeposition located in our NYC headquarters office.
The Child Mind Institute is proud to be named a Great Place to Work-Certified company! Our competitive compensation and benefits include medical insurance, 401(k), paid parental leave, dependent care, and flexible work schedules, paid parental leave, dependent care and discounted tickets and entertainment perks programs.
