Postdoctoral Fellow – Ultrasound Neuromodulation, Electrophysiology, Optical Imaging, Functional Neuroimaging, Systems Neuroscience

San Francisco, CA             ·             Full time

The Di Ianni Lab (https://diiannilab.ucsf.edu) at UCSF is recruiting a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with experience or strong interest in one or more of the following areas:

• ultrasound neuromodulation
• electrophysiology
• optical imaging
• functional neuroimaging
• systems neuroscience

We are affiliated with the UCSF Departments of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and Radiology & Biomedical Imaging. Our lab is located in the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences on the Mission Bay campus. Our research is focused on developing cutting-edge technologies for ultrasound neuromodulation, functional ultrasound imaging, and image-guided neurointervention. We are part of the fast-growing UCSF Focused Ultrasound in Neuroscience program, a multi-department effort that seeks to bring together investigators working on clinical, translational, and basic science applications of focused ultrasound in psychiatry, neurology, neurosurgery, and neuro-oncology. The program offers outstanding opportunities to establish collaborations with clinical scientists.

• Ideal candidates should have received a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in a relevant field such as Bioengineering or Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Electrical Engineering, or other closely related field by the time the position starts.
• Candidates should have a strong track record of research accomplishments.
• Experience working with rodents and with the Verasonics ultrasound research platform is strongly preferred.
• The ideal candidate should also have prior experience with programming languages (e.g., Python, Matlab, R).
• This position requires strong verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work in a diverse and interdisciplinary team.

To apply, interested candidates should send a brief cover letter highlighting their research experience and interests, a full curriculum vitae, and names and contact information of three (3) references. Applications should be submitted to tommaso.diianni@ucsf.edu.
