Postdoctoral Associate

3 weeks ago

Houston, United States Baylor College of Medicine Full time

**Summary**:
The postdoctoral associate will be co-mentored by Drs. Calarge and Xu in clinical and technical aspects, respectively, of neuroimaging in adolescents. Mentoring is a strong focus in Dr. Calarge and Dr. Xu's laboratories as demonstrated by prior successful pre-/post-doctoral fellowships awarded to members in the laboratories. All trainees are encouraged to pursue competitive fellowships with hands-on guidance and dedicated mentoring. Typically, a fellowship proposal submission is expected by the end of the second year after a trainee joins the team.

**Job Duties**:

- Specific neuroimaging analysis tasks include:

- Subcortical susceptibility source separation into iron and myelin, especially in areas with low to medium iron content (e.g. caudate and putamen)
- Quantifying subcortical spatial gradients or subregional features of iron-related contrasts, such as quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), R2*, or T1w/T2w ratio
- Calibrating MRI-derived quantitative iron metrics in different subcortical regions from age-dependent in vivo reproducibility datasets with ex vivo literature (“ground truth”) values of subcortical iron concentrations
- Characterizing developmental trajectory of subcortical distribution of brain iron, after separating the confounding myelin and iron concentration calibration
- Identifying subcortical (sub)regions or spatial patterns of brain iron that are sensitive to iron deficiency in adolescents

**Minimum Qualifications**:

- MD or Ph.D. in Basic Science, Health Science, or a related field.
- No experience required.

**Preferred Qualifications**:

- PhD in Psychiatry, Psychology, Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.
- Background in neuroimaging data analysis.
- Proficient with neuroimaging analysis software (e.g., FSL, AFNI, SPM, FreeSurfer, Connectome workbench, etc.) and Shell Scripting.
- Experience with Python or R language.
- Experience conducting reproducibility neuroimaging studies.
