About the Center for Animal MRI (CAMRI)
The Center for Animal MRI (CAMRI) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is affiliated with the Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC) and the Department of Neurology. Our mission focuses on two core pillars: developing and applying novel functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methods to study their relevant contrast mechanisms, and employing cutting-edge neuromodulation and recording techniques to explore the mechanisms behind large-scale functional network transitions and relevant behaviors.
CAMRI utilizes a diverse array of advanced techniques, including MRI, electrical deep brain stimulation, optogenetic and chemogenetic stimulation, electrophysiology, fiber photometry, and calcium imaging.
About the Role
We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to enhance zero echo time (ZTE) and/or ultra-short echo time (UTE)-based techniques for fMRI. This position is critical to advancing silent, sensitive, specific, and artifact-resistant fMRI methods that can be broadly utilized. The successful candidate will contribute to new capabilities for mapping brain function during active behaviors.
