About Child Mind Institute

We're dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families struggling with mental health and learning disorders by giving them the help they need. We've become the leading independent nonprofit in children's mental health by providing gold-standard evidence-based care, delivering educational resources to millions of families each year, training educators in underserved communities, and developing tomorrow's breakthrough treatments.

Position Details

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will focus on studying brain structure and functional connectivity at the forefront of computational neuroscience. The Fellow will work in close collaboration with internal and external partners to advance the modeling of whole-brain dynamics through the integration of microstructural brain data into large-scale simulations.

You will work closely with an interdisciplinary team of neuroscientists, software developers, and data scientists to design, implement, validate, and disseminate open-source tools that integrate mesoscale neurotransmitter receptor maps into neural mass modeling simulation environment, and extend existing brain simulation tools to explore the biological underpinnings of functional.

Reporting into the Director, Integrative Developmental Neuroscience, this is a full-time position on a hybrid schedule (minimum of 4 days per week in office).

You Will

• Process and analyze large-scale fMRI, MRI, and DTI data from human and non-human primate datasets using high-performance computing infrastructures.
• Design and conduct simulations of whole-brain activity using surface-based cortical meshes and brain atlases and validate simulation outputs against empirical fMRI data.
• Implement Python code to integrate anatomic priors into existing NMM simulation software.
• Prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals and assist with grant applications and data sharing with collaborators.
• Provide guidance and support to junior research staff, including assistance with data analysis and professional development.
• Help complete ongoing and future grant-funded projects
• Perform other job-related duties as assigned.
  
  

You Have

• Ph.D. in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, computer science, physics, applied mathematics, or a related field.
• Publication track record demonstrating ability to conduct independent research and work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team; with at least 1 first author publication or multiple middle author publications with significant contribution to the project.
• 3+ years experience in Python and scientific computing (e.g., Numpy, Scipy, Scikit-Learn), and the Git version control systems.
• 3+ years experience of existing neuroimaging software packages (e.g., ANTs, FreeSurfer, AFNI, FSL) file formats (e.g., NIfTI, GIFTI, CIFTI).
• 3+ years of experience in neuroimaging research, including expertise with one or more imaging modalities such as fMRI, DTI, MRI, EEG, or MEG.
