Job Description:
The USC Institute for Neuroimaging and Informatics (INI) aims to enhance discovery through the application of imaging and other data and information technologies in the study of the brain. The Institute is dedicated to excellence in data acquisition, analysis, stewardship and computational innovation for the purpose of biomedical research.
INI is comprised of the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI), the Imaging Genetics Center (IGC) and the Center for Image Acquisition (CIA). The Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI) seeks to improve understanding of the brain in health and disease. The laboratory manages considerable computational infrastructure and is dedicated to the development of scientific approaches for the comprehensive mapping of brain structure and function. The Imaging Genetics Center (IGC) is involved in studying brain imaging, genetics, and the connections between them. The Center for Image Acquisition (CIA) is home to a Siemens Magnetom Prisma, a new 3 Tesla MRI scanner and a Siemens Magnetom 7T MRI scanner, and is focused on the development and application of innovative MR image acquisition in normal and diseased subjects.
In addition to the research goals, INI trains the next generation of scientists through the Masters in Neuroimaging and Informatics program. This one-year advanced program of study will provide students with a deep understanding of the scientific and clinical underpinnings of neuroimaging science and how to leverage it in large-scale to make new and important discoveries in biomedicine.
The USC Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI) is searching for a post-doctoral fellow for its BD2K (Big Data to Knowledge) initiative. We are looking for candidates who have a careful balance of practical computer science experience with large computational frameworks, research experience with neuro-imaging analyses, genetics and different types of neuroscience data, and insight on how to combine these data together with visualization displays and interactive visual elements. Applicants must be knowledgeable about current computer science technologies in neuroscience (including how data are stored, processed, analyzed and distributed) and know when these technologies are applicable and useful. Applicants must have a publication record and example software solutions.
Key requirements, skills and knowledge include:
PhD in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or the equivalent
Expert knowledge of Java, C++, XML, MySQL, RESTful services
Experience creating user-interfaces
Experience working with neuroimaging, genetics, proteomics, grid computing, Globus, data management, data visualization, workflow design and execution, and informatics methods
Ability to write research manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals
Ability to present research to peers at meetings and conferences
To apply, please send cover letter, CV, salary history and list of references to applications@ini.usc.edu. Incomplete applications may not be reviewed. Principals only; no agency or offsite. Absolutely no calls.
