Neuroimaging Statistics Faculty Opportunities

The Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR) at the Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM) in St Louis invites applications from outstanding Ph.D., D.Sc. and/or M.D. candidates for tenure-track faculty positions at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor. We are seeking talented investigators to initiate and lead highly innovative research programs relevant to neuroimaging statistics and to collaborate widely with members of our neuroimaging community. Major research areas of interest include, but are not limited to:  

Large scale dataset statistics
Machine learning / deep learning 
Multimodal imaging analyses
Neuroimaging meta-analyses
Longitudinal modeling of brain and behavioral data
Brain-wide associations with behavior, genetics
Ecological Momentary Assessment 

The selected candidates will be part of the Neuroimaging Labs Research Center (NIL-RC). We encourage diversity to reflect the rich community in which we live and serve, and we are committed to promoting an environment that is inclusive and welcoming to all individuals. The NIL-RC is housed in the MIR and consists of 25 principal investigators from 3 different departments (MIR, Neurology, and Psychiatry) and over 120 students, postdoctoral fellows, staff, and clinical fellows. This structure provides a collaborative environment for diverse interdisciplinary research initiatives. NIL-RC investigators are pioneers in using neuroimaging tools (PET, MRI, fMRI) to ask fundamental questions about brain organization and metabolism, to explore typical and atypical development, aging, neuroplasticity and to determine the neurobiological underpinnings of disease-related change in mood, motor and cognitive functioning. Our faculty also have expertise in the fields of precision neuroimaging, functional connectivity, brain parcellation and methods for understanding and reducing movement artifacts. More information about the NIL-RC can be found here: mir.wustl.edu/nil-rc. The selected candidates will be encouraged to establish viable collaborations with faculty in the NIL-RC, across the neuroimaging community at Washington University and beyond. 

MIR is an international leader in future-driven education and groundbreaking research. MIR is deeply committed to distinction in teaching and learning and excellence in research, being consistently ranked one of the top Diagnostic Radiology Departments for NIH funding.

St. Louis is consistently rated a Forbes most affordable city with vibrant music, food, and park scene, and has one of the fastest growing start-up communities with impressive accelerator and incubator services available through the Biogenerator, Cambridge Innovation Center, and Cortex Innovation District.

Eligible candidates will have Ph.D., D.Sc. and/or M.D. For each position, rank and tenure status will be commensurate with experience. It is expected that the applicants will have a strong track record of publications and success in external funding through grants and contracts. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and maintain a multi-disciplinary, rigorous, and extramurally funded research program interfacing with the MIR’s research labs, translational imaging facilities and WUSM.

Applicants should submit PDFs of (1) a cover letter addressed to Dr. Richard L. Wahl, Elizabeth E. Mallinckrodt Professor and Head of Radiology; (2) a 3-4 page research statement describing accomplishments and future research and (3) a curriculum vitae. 

Reviews of applications will begin November 1, 2022. For administrative questions about the application process please contact mir-faculty-search@wustl.edu. For academic or research related inquiries about the positions, please contact the Director of the NIL-RC, Dr. Tamara Hershey (tammy@wustl.edu). In order to ensure full consideration, applications must be received by January 31, 2023.
