The Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine (CNRM), in Washington, DC, invites applications for a Senior Neuroimaging Scientist from persons with an MRI Physicist background. The CNRM is undertaking a new, large, and well-funded effort to study Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), with an emphasis on military blast derived TBI. This position will provide support and direction for several related projects in all areas of MRI, including DTI, fMRI, morphometry, and image analysis. Specialization in one of these areas is desirable, as is experience with pulse sequence programming on GE systems. Experience with image standardization and quantification techniques across MRI platforms and magnet strengths is also desired.

The successful candidate will join a team of medical imaging and TBI researchers, providing expertise and overall guidance for all aspects of starting a new MRI lab and beginning data acquisition. Facilities include an existing GE 3T scanner, a new 3T scanner to be sited in a new building, a high field animal MRI scanner, as well as PET, SPECT, MEG, and image analysis facilities. Collaborators are located at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital, the National Naval Medical Center, the Uniformed Services University, the NIH, as well as other external sites.
