Postdoctoral Associate in Neuroimaging

Job Summary We are looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate for a two‑year appointment (with the possibility of extension) in Dr. Yicun Wang’s neuroimaging laboratory in the Department of Radiology at Stony Brook University. The successful candidate will lead efforts to quantify multi‑scale neurofluid dynamics, including blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid movement, using state‑of‑the‑art MRI methods alongside simultaneous physiological monitoring. Required Qualifications Recent Ph.D. degree (or foreign equivalent) in Biomedical Engineering, Medical Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a closely related field. Proficiency in MATLAB or Python. Prior experience with neuroimaging analysis (using FSL, AFNI, SPM, etc.) At least one journal publication as first author. Preferred Qualifications Strong background in MRI physics. Hands‑on experience with Siemens MRI scanners. Proficient in integrated MRI‑physiological signal analysis. Proficient with Linux. Key Responsibilities Data acquisition: operate a 3 T Siemens Prisma Fit (and additional 3 T systems as needed) to collect structural and dynamic MRI data. Quantitative analysis: develop pipelines for dynamic MRI and physiological data; integrate multimodal metrics to uncover fluid‑flow interactions. Clinical collaboration, working closely with neurologists and neurosurgeons on studies of healthy aging, hydrocephalus and other patient cohorts. Dissemination and mentorship: present results at conferences, prepare manuscripts for peer‑reviewed journals, and mentor graduate students and research assistants. Additional opportunities include MRI pulse‑sequence development based on Pulseq and/or reconstruction methods across multiple 3 T platforms; participation in collaborative projects such as longitudinal quantitative MRI of brain aging and PET/MRI of neuroinflammation. Other duties as assigned. Other Information Resume/CV and cover letter should be included with the online application.
