Postdoctoral Researcher in Neuroimaging

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description, responsibilities? We need to decide sections based on content. The posting includes description of role, responsibilities (investigating brain aging, etc.), qualifications, skills, maybe benefits (salary). Pay: "Competitive, commensurate with NIH postdoctoral guidelines." That's vague but it's a statement about salary. According to rules: we should include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state salary: "Competitive, commensurate with NIH postdoctoral guidelines." That's a statement, albeit vague but it's present. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: not mentioned. Benefits: not mentioned besides maybe opportunity to participate etc. Not explicit benefits like health insurance, etc. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not list benefits like health, retirement, etc. So skip Benefits. Qualifications: present. Requirements? Could combine Qualifications and Requirements. The posting has "Qualifications" list. Also "Experience with perfusion MRI or arterial spin labeling is preferred" could be under Requirements or Skills. We'll create a Qualifications section with list. Skills: maybe we can include a Skills section for computing skills, machine learning, etc. But we could also incorporate into Qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (maybe not separate), Qualifications, Skills, Pay. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see what content we have: - Description: paragraph about lab, research focus, what position will support, etc. That's about the role. - Responsibilities: maybe the duties: "support multiple NIH funded projects aimed at improving understanding...", "analyze both locally acquired data and data aggregated from large national and international neuroimaging datasets.", "participate in team science", "gain hands-on experience with a variety of image analysis techniques", "make critical contributions to primary research publications and grant proposals.", "develop specialized expertise in cerebral blood flow imaging, arterial spin labeling, multimodal MRI, data harmonization, and quantitative neuroimaging approaches". That's more like responsibilities. - Qualifications: list of degree, experience, scientific writing, experience with perfusion MRI preferred. - Skills: proficiency in Matlab, Python, R; interest in machine learning/deep learning; strong computing skills. - Pay: "Competitive, commensurate with NIH postdoctoral guidelines." We could combine Skills into Qualifications or Responsibilities. But we have enough for separate sections maybe. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: application instructions, contact info, etc. So we should exclude "Application Instructions" and contact details. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from description, responsibilities, qualifications, skills, pay. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to decide what constitutes a list. For responsibilities, we can make a list. For qualifications, list. For skills, list. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay section: we have actual statement, so okay. Let's extract details: Description/Faculty Mentor etc: - Faculty Mentor: Sudipto Dolui, PhD and John Detre, MD - Department: Radiology and Neurology - Funding Sources: Grant - Number of Positions: 1 - Candidates requiring visa sponsorship are welcome to apply - The Detre Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania, under the mentorship of Dr. John Detre and Dr. Sudipto Dolui, is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join a multidisciplinary team investigating brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias through advanced neuroimaging methods. - This position will support multiple NIH funded projects aimed at improving understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of aging and neurodegeneration and at developing advanced biomarkers of vascular brain health. - Our lab conducts clinical and translational research utilizing structural, functional, and physiological magnetic resonance imaging methods, with a particular emphasis on cerebral blood flow imaging derived from arterial spin labeling to assess cerebrovascular integrity and neural activity. - We analyze both locally acquired data and data aggregated from large national and international neuroimaging datasets. - The ideal candidate will have an interest in biomedical research, be enthusiastic and highly motivated to participate in team science, and possess strong computing skills, including proficiency in coding languages such as Matlab, Python, or R. - Experience in machine learning or deep learning, or a willingness to learn and apply these methods, is strongly desired. - This position offers the opportunity to participate in an innovative research environment, gain hands-on experience with a variety of image analysis techniques, learn about the neuroscience of aging and dementia, and make critical contributions to primary research publications and grant proposals. - The successful applicant will develop specialized expertise in cerebral blood flow imaging, arterial spin labeling, multimodal MRI, data harmonization, and quantitative neuroimaging approaches that support research in normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and contribute to the development of sensitive and specific neuroimaging biomarkers. Qualifications: - Doctoral degree in Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field - Demonstrated experience in neuroimaging, machine learning, or deep learning - Strong scientific writing skills and interest in leading manuscripts and contributing to grant applications - Experience with perfusion MRI or arterial spin labeling is preferred Skills (maybe overlapping): - Proficiency in coding languages such as Matlab, Python, or R - Experience in machine learning or deep learning, or willingness to learn - Strong computing skills - Interest in biomedical research, enthusiasm, motivation to participate in team science But many of these are already in qualifications/description. To avoid duplication, we should keep each piece only once. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details, but we can organize them without duplication. However, some details appear in multiple places (e.g., proficiency in Matlab, Python, R appears in description; also experience in machine learning etc). We need to include them but we can combine them under appropriate sections without repeating same sentence verbatim? The instruction says do not summarize away detail, but we can rephrase? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing away detail would be like condensing multiple points into a vague statement. We should keep each distinct piece of information. If we combine similar items into a bullet list, that's okay as long as we keep each distinct piece. For example, "proficiency in coding languages such as Matlab, Python, or R" is one piece. "Experience in machine learning or deep learning, or a willingness to learn and apply these methods" is another. "Strong computing skills" maybe overlaps with proficiency but it's separate. We can keep them as separate bullets. We need to avoid duplication: If the same exact phrase appears multiple times in the posting, we should include it only once. Let's check duplicates: - "Experience in machine learning or deep learning, or a willingness to learn and apply these methods" appears in description (under ideal candidate) and also maybe in qualifications? Actually qualifications list includes "Demonstrated experience in neuroimaging, machine learning, or deep learning". That's similar but not identical. So we keep both. - "Strong scientific writing skills and interest in leading manuscripts and contributing to grant applications" appears only in qualifications. - "Experience with perfusion MRI or arterial spin labeling is preferred" appears in qualifications. - "Interest in biomedical research, be enthusiastic and highly motivated to participate in team science" appears in description. - "possess strong computing skills, including proficiency in coding languages such as Matlab, Python, or R" appears in description. - "This position offers the opportunity to participate in an innovative research environment, gain hands-on experience with a variety of image analysis techniques, learn about the neuroscience of aging and dementia, and make critical contributions to primary research publications and grant proposals." appears in description. - "The successful applicant will develop specialized expertise in cerebral blood flow imaging, arterial spin labeling, multimodal MRI, data harmonization, and quantitative neuroimaging approaches that support research in normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and contribute to the development of sensitive and specific neuroimaging biomarkers." appears in description. Thus we need to include all. Now structure: We'll have sections:

  About the role

  - include paragraph(s) describing lab, mentor, department, funding, visa, position goal. We could also include the sentence about supporting NIH funded projects etc. That could be responsibilities. Better: About the role: general overview. Responsibilities: list of duties. Let's decide: About the role: includes Faculty Mentor, Department, Funding Sources, Number of Positions, visa sponsorship, lab description, research focus. Responsibilities: list of duties: support NIH funded projects, improve understanding, develop biomarkers, conduct clinical/translational research using MRI, emphasis on CBF ASL, analyze local and large datasets, participate in team science, gain hands-on experience with image analysis techniques, contribute to publications and grant proposals, develop expertise in CBF imaging, ASL, multimodal MRI, data harmonization, quantitative neuroimaging, contribute to biomarkers. Qualifications: list: Doctoral degree in fields, Demonstrated experience in neuroimaging, machine learning, or deep learning, Strong scientific writing skills and interest in leading manuscripts and contributing to grant applications, Experience with perfusion MRI or arterial spin labeling is preferred. Skills: list: Proficiency in coding languages such as Matlab, Python, or R, Experience in machine learning or deep learning, or willingness to learn and apply these methods, Strong computing skills, Interest in biomedical research, enthusiasm, motivation to participate in team science. Pay:

  Competitive, commensurate with NIH postdoctoral guidelines.

  We need to ensure we don't create thin sections. Each section has substantive content. Now produce HTML fragment. We must not include or . Just the fragment. Let's craft. Check for any boilerplate we must remove: "Open Date Nov 25, 2025", "Location University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine". That's metadata but not boilerplate; it's substantive? It's location and date. Should we keep? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include location and date in a short paragraph maybe under About the role or separate minor metadata. It's not a heading. We can include a

  with that info. We should also keep "Open Date Nov 25, 2025". That's minor metadata; we can include in a paragraph. We should not include "Application Instructions" etc. Now produce. Let's write:
