Job Details

Columbia University’s Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute (the Zuckerman Institute) brings together researchers to explore aspects of mind and brain, through the exchange of ideas and active collaboration. The Zuckerman Institute’s home will be the Jerome L. Greene Science Center on Columbia’s new Manhattanville campus. Situated in the heart of Manhattan, at full capacity the Zuckerman Institute will house approximately 47 laboratories employing a broad range of interdisciplinary approaches to transform our understanding of the mind and brain. In this highly collaborative environment, labs work together to gain critical insights into human health by exploring how the brain develops, performs, endures and recovers from trauma or disease.

A lab within the Zuckerman Institute is seeking to hire a Staff Associate II. The Staff Associate II will assist in developing the state-of-the art Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) methods as applied to epilepsy imaging in pediatric populations. The Staff Associate II is expected to aid in rapid clinical translation of such methods. Tangible deliverables expected would be contributions toward manuscript submissions and grant applications to disseminate and advance these topics.
Research responsibilities included but not limited to:

Design, implement and optimize MRF image acquisition and reconstruction methods for pediatric neuroimaging, including diffusion and perfusion MRI
Assist in Developing and maintaining an in-house image visualization tool for radiological MRF evaluation, written in Python and web-hosted
Integrate third party pipelines to serve as control for radiological evaluation
Coordinate in vitro and in vivo MRI experiments
Assist with deploy and support outcomes of vendor integrated software to beta sites for testing
Plan and conduct steps towards rapid clinical translation of developed MRF outcomes with our industrial partner
Contribute to manuscript writing, and inputs to grant applications

Company

Located within the Jerome L. Greene Science Center in the rising Manhattanville campus of Columbia University, the Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute is comprised of world-renowned scientists, bringing together psychologists, engineers, and brain scientists, with the goal of understanding the complexities of mind and brain. The Institute supports interdisciplinary neuroscience research and discovery by scholars across the university and promises to be the most comprehensive institute for brain science. The Institute will also foster programming events with a focus on the community. Such programs will communicate what we currently know, and what we hope to someday know, about the brain. The intention of the Institute is to spark a scientific and creative pursuit in the next generation of scientists—and people of all ages.
