A two-year postdoctoral internship in structural and functional neuroimaging
is available immediately at the University of California, San Diego, Autism
Center of Excellence (ACE), directed by Dr. Eric Courchesne.
Characteristics of an ideal candidate include a technically savvy individual
with expertise in a range of neuroimaging software tools such as AFNI, FSL,
or SPM. One of the goals of the UCSD ACE is to discover a unique
neuroanatomic or neurofunctional profile of babies at-risk for autism
ranging in age from 12-42 months. The successful candidate will take a
leading role in implementing and analyzing an extensive brain-imaging
protocol that includes perfusion, diffusion tensor, structural and
functional imaging. Prior brain imaging experience required. Computer
programming expertise preferred, but not required. No autism experience
required.
