Executive Computer Science Neuroscience Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Faculty Position in Neuroimaging Computational Science Available

The Neurodevelopmental Disorders Prevention Center and the Perinatal Institute at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) are seeking to hire a highly motivated and well-trained neuroimaging and computational neuroscientist with skills in multimodal image acquisition/processing, computational modelling, machine learning, and/or multimodal data mapping. We are particularly interested in researchers who are already working to enable early diagnosis, prognosis, and/or interventions in neurological and mental health disorders in newborns, infants, and children. The joint appointment will be at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or full Professor, depending on the credentials of the candidate, within the Departments of Pediatrics and Radiology. The successful candidate will also be appointed membership within the Neurodevelopmental Disorders Prevention Center, the Perinatal Institute, and Imaging Research Center.

Fall 2023 CCHMC has installed a first of its kind 3T neonatal MRI scanner (Philips) with outstanding gradient performance (80 mT/m @ 200 T/m/s simultaneously) that will enable high-resolution, multiband, whole-body imaging acquisition in high-risk newborns and infants. The scanner will be housed in our new 90-bed level IV neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), thus permitting state-of-the-art neuroimaging in critically ill infants, and expanding the scope of inquiry in neurological and mental health conditions. The Perinatal Institute provides care to all high-risk newborns within the Greater Cincinnati region thus enabling population-based cohort studies, such as the Cincinnati Infant Neurodevelopment Early Prediction Study (CINEPS). CINEPS has prospectively collected a rich database of perinatal clinical data and performed structural, diffusion, metabolic, and functional MRI at termequivalent age in 545 very preterm infants on the same 3T MRI scanner. Additionally, all infants are being followed longitudinally to school age to comprehensively assess neurodevelopmental outcomes. The successful candidate will benefit from rich sources of data such as this one and others (e.g., fetal MRI, imaging datasets of substanceexposed infants, and the upcoming HEALthy Brain and Child Development study) and with the established infrastructure of physical resources (multiple high-resolution research MRI scanners, MEG, etc.) and multidisciplinary, established collaborations between Neonatology, Radiology, Behavioral Medicine, Biostatistics & Epidemiology, Communication Sciences Research Center, Neonatal Research Network, Bronchopulmonary

Dysplasia Center, Fetal Care Center, Pediatric Neurology, Mind-Brain Behavior Initiative, Communication Sciences, Neurosurgery, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Rehab Medicine, and Bioinformatics. All CCHMC faculty have an affiliated appointment within the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
