• Experience with external grant funding, publishing, and national recognition
• Demonstrated success obtaining competitive extramural funding with a strong trajectory toward sustained federal support
• Active federal funding is preferred
• Experience conducting multimodal neuroimaging research utilizing MRI, MEG, EEG, or related methodologies
• Experience with longitudinal cohorts, developmental or clinical populations, community-based research, or large-scale datasets
• Expertise in computational modeling, machine learning, predictive analytics, biomarker development, or translational neuroscience

Physical Requirements

• Work is performed in a dry laboratory environment
• Will operate standard office equipment and will frequently stand, walk, sit, perform desk-based computer tasks, use a telephone, perform repetitive motions and occasionally lift objects that weigh up to 20 pounds
• May interact with research participants

Salary

Salary is commensurate with experience.

About the Role

This recruitment coincides with the installation of a new MEGIN TRIUX™ neo magnetoencephalography (MEG) system, further expanding MRN's world-class neuroimaging capabilities. The TRIUX™ neo complements MRN's research-dedicated Siemens Prisma 3T MRI, research-dedicated mobile MRI program, and advanced neuro-informatics resources, creating an exceptional environment for innovative, multimodal translational neuroscience research.

Benefits

A unique research setting in Albuquerque offers access to diverse urban, rural, tribal, and underserved populations, supporting innovative community-engaged, longitudinal, and translational neuroscience research while providing an exceptional quality of life.
