The Neuroimaging Research Program at the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center (MPRC), Department of Psychiatry, University of Maryland School of Medicine invites applications for a junior faculty position (instructor or assistant professor, tenure-track or nontenure-track, based on qualification) with the aim to examine structural and functional connectivity, their biological mechanism and relationship to schizophrenia and other complex neuropsychiatric illnesses. We are looking for applicants with strong modeling and signal processing expertise to apply their skills to test specific hypotheses on identifying genetic pathways that modulate functional, electrical, and structural connectivity deficits in schizophrenia. The successful applicant will form close collaboration with academic and industry scientists on understanding the genetic and biological basis of abnormal cerebral connectivity in schizophrenia. We seek ambitious candidates with PhD or MD who want to pursue academic career. Applicants with extensive experiences in MRI, ERP, and connectomics data analyses and strong signal processing skills will be favorably considered.
MPRC imaging center is equipped with a state-of-the art 3T Siemens TIM Trio scanner with 32-channel headcoil and a high-performance computational cluster. A clinic for first-episode psychosis is also located within the program. There is a strong faculty representation on MR physics, MRS, DTI, fMRI, ASL, neural network modeling, and EEG, TMS, genetics, and neurophysiology areas. Pursuing independent research is strongly encouraged. Applicants should send curriculum vitae with a brief statement to Elliot Hong, MD (ehong@mprc.umaryland.edu) and Kimberly Tate, MPH (ktate@mprc.umaryland.edu). Visit our website at www.mdbrain.org.
