What is neuroimaging research?

A Neuroimaging Research job involves studying the structure and function of the brain using imaging techniques like MRI, fMRI, PET, and EEG. Researchers analyze brain activity to understand neurological disorders, cognition, or brain-behavior relationships. These roles are typically found in academic institutions, hospitals, or pharmaceutical companies and may involve data collection, image processing, and statistical analysis. Strong backgrounds in neuroscience, psychology, computer science, or biomedical engineering are often required.

What are the typical day-to-day responsibilities in neuroimaging research?

In a Neuroimaging Research position, your daily tasks may include designing experimental protocols, conducting or supervising neuroimaging data acquisition (such as MRI or fMRI scans), and processing and analyzing brain imaging data using specialized software. You will often collaborate with other researchers, clinicians, or technical staff, participate in regular team meetings, and contribute to research publications or grant proposals. Additionally, you might be involved in troubleshooting equipment, maintaining data quality standards, and staying updated on the latest neuroimaging methodologies. This role offers a dynamic and intellectually stimulating work environment, where your contributions directly advance our understanding of brain function and human behavior.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in neuroimaging research?

To thrive in Neuroimaging Research, you need a solid background in neuroscience, psychology, or biomedical engineering, along with experience in designing and analyzing neuroimaging studies. Familiarity with MRI, fMRI, PET, and analysis software such as SPM, FSL, or AFNI is typically essential, and advanced degrees or certifications in related fields are highly valued. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, teamwork, and effective communication skills help professionals excel in collaborative, interdisciplinary research settings. These skills are vital for producing reliable results, advancing scientific understanding, and contributing to innovative brain research.

How to become a neuroimaging researcher?

To become a neuroimaging researcher, typically a candidate needs a bachelor's degree in neuroscience, psychology, or a related field, followed by a master's or Ph.D. in neuroscience, neuroimaging, or biomedical engineering. Gaining experience with neuroimaging tools like MRI or PET, developing skills in data analysis and programming, and often obtaining research experience through internships or assistantships are important steps.

Key responsibilities

  • Contribute expertise to relevant courses and mentor graduate students and post‑docs in their research program.

  • Develop and maintain a scholarly research portfolio, collaborate with other faculty, and work towards obtaining external research funding.

  • Serve on departmental, college, or university committees and participate in professional activities such as reviewing or conference organizing.

Job description

Unit:

School of Medicine

Department:

Psychiatry

Mission or Goal of Unit:

Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics’ (VIPBG’s) mission is to study the etiology of psychiatric, substance use, and major biomedical disorders that have a significant behavioral component. Our foci are genetics epidemiology, molecular genetics/genomics, and the development of statistical methods and software to analyze genetic data. We aim to understand the interplay of genetic, environmental and developmental factors in behavioral and mental health, to address public health issues, to educate the next generation of researchers, and to share findings with the scientific community via publications and conference presentations.

Chief Purpose of this position:

The Department of Psychiatry is seeking candidates for two T&R Faculty positions, at Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics’ (VIPBG). The Faculty member will be responsible for obtaining grants to support their research, collaborating with other faculty, and growing their research program at the university including publications, teaching and service to the scientific community. Joint appointments are possible with complementary departments. Start-up packages are available, and salary, tenure-eligibility, and rank will be commensurate with experience.

Position Responsibilities:

Teaching - There are no set teaching requirements however the candidate is expected to contribute their expertise to relevant courses taught at the Institute and to mentor graduate students and post‑docs working in their research program/laboratory.

Research - The faculty member should have a scholarly/research portfolio which complements the existing expertise in the institute with evidence of multi‑disciplinary applications. They are expected to be an engaged collaborator to enhance the research program at the Institute.

Service - Faculty member will serve on Departmental, College, and/or University committees as necessary, as well as in a professional capacity in their field, e.g., reviewer, conference organizer etc.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

  • MD or PhD or equivalent with training in statistical genetics/genomics, behavioral genetics/genomics, computational genetics/genomics and/or neuroimaging
  • Faculty member will be required to have a clear research agenda and a potential for external funding, and potential for scholarship or creative expression to complement and expand existing expertise in the institute
  • An interest in areas complementary to current VIPBG expertise, e.g., psychiatric and/or substance use disorder genetics and genomics
  • Demonstrated ability to work in and foster an environment of respect, professionalism, and civility with a population of faculty, staff, and students from all backgrounds and experiences, or a commitment to do so as a faculty member at VCU

Preferred Qualifications

The candidate(s) will bring expertise in at least one of the following areas:

  • Statistical genetics/genomics, including skills in molecular genetics/genomics/epigenomics, population genetics, bioinformatics, multi‑ancestry genomics, genetic variant curation, statistical methods development, emerging technologies (e.g., single‑cell sequencing, chromatin conformation)
  • Behavior genetics/genomics, including skills in twin and family modeling within a structural equation modeling (SEM, such as OpenMx) framework; experience with multivariate modeling, longitudinal/developmental modeling, and the use of both continuous and ordinal data
  • Computational genetics/genomics, including skills in clinical informatics, genomic data science, multi‑omic analyses, biostatistical methods and analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, reproducible pipelines, high performance cloud computing, Python, R, and/or other computational language coding
  • Additional expertise in neuroimaging research, including structural MRI, fMRI, and connectivity studies would be of interest but is not required
Benefits

All full‑time university staff are eligible for VCU’s robust benefits package that includes comprehensive health benefits, paid annual and holiday leave granted up front, generous tuition benefits, retirement planning and savings options, tax‑deferred annuity and cash match programs, employee discounts, well‑being resources, abundant opportunities for career development and advancement, and more.
