Chicagoland Postdoc Recruitment Initiative

The Postdoc Affairs Offices at Northwestern University, The University of Chicago, and University of Illinois Chicago invite you to participate in the Chicagoland Postdoc Recruitment Initiative, taking place virtually October 20-21, 2022!

Applications will be accepted through Monday, September 12th. APPLY HERE!

Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to learn about THREE postdoctoral programs in the Chicagoland area and the cutting-edge research happening at each institution. More than 150 faculty members from the three institutions have signed-up to participate in the Initiative!

This is a collaborative initiative to improve diversity and inclusion at the three largest research universities in the Chicago area, with the goal of addressing the "pipeline" challenge in academia for historically marginalized graduate students and postdocs, including individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds, who have disabilities, who identify as LGBTQIA+, who are veterans, or who were first-generation college students or Pell-eligible. Selected participants will learn about postdoctoral programs in the Chicagoland area, how to find postdoctoral opportunities, how to apply for postdoctoral positions, and how to maximize your postdoctoral experiences. Following these two days of programming, participants will conduct informational interviews with matched faculty members through November 4th.
Questions? Please visit our website or email us at: chicago.postdoc.recruit@gmail.com

Applicants should be advanced graduate students (have passed qualifying exam or are post-candidacy by October 20, 2022), recent PhD graduates, or early-stage postdocs in STEM fields. There is no citizenship requirement to apply for this event.

Information about the lab and the qualifications for the RA position:

Graduate Research Assistant Position for Physics-based Neuroimaging Analysis

The Garcia Lab applies physical concepts (mechanics) to understand both brain growth and degeneration. Current clinical research collaborations seek to link differences in cortical expansion and shrinkage, assessed with novel physics-based MRI analysis tools, to functional deficits in human. Complementary to this work, we are using multiscale computational modeling, informed by experimental data from animal models, to uncover the biological mechanisms underlying these structural changes during critical periods of brain change.

We are seeking a graduate student researcher to conduct physics-based analysis of human MRI data across multiple large and unique datasets. The position will focus on 2 related projects, with additional opportunities to explore new research directions:

1. Enhanced detection of cortical atrophy as a biomarker of early cognitive decline.

2. Characterization of cortical atrophy in individuals with hypertension and/or diabetes.

Backgrounds in neuroscience, neuroimaging, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, informatics and/or computer science are welcome.

Requirements: proficient in MATLAB, shell scripting, and statistical software; willing to learn neuroimaging research tools

Benefits: collaboration with IU School of Medicine, authorship for conference presentations and peer-reviewed journal publications, future potential for paid position
