My lab at FDA encompasses cardiac and neurophysiology. Our work has been in electrophysiology on a cellular
or tissue level. We recently benefited from an imaging initiative, and we have a keen interest in hiring a researcher to start a program related to functional brain imaging. We want to hire a person to do original research and help us evaluate device trials by providing expertise in brain imaging as an endpoint in clinical trials. We have not defined a specific area of research, but the candidate would need to be self motivated and collaborate well with others. Ideally the candidate would integrate the research with our sister Division of Imaging and Applied Mathematics, led by Dr. Kyle Myers. The level of the appointment would be as a staff fellow. Please feel free to forward this message and have appropriate candidates contact me.
