Columbia University’s Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute (the Zuckerman Institute) brings together researchers to explore aspects of mind and brain, through the exchange of ideas and active collaboration. The Zuckerman Institute’s home will be the Jerome L. Greene Science Center on Columbia’s new Manhattanville campus. Situated in the heart of Manhattan, at full capacity the Zuckerman Institute will house approximately 47 laboratories employing a broad range of interdisciplinary approaches to transform our understanding of the mind and brain. In this highly collaborative environment, labs work together to gain critical insights into human health by exploring how the brain develops, performs, endures and recovers from trauma or disease.
A lab within the Zuckerman Institute is seeking to hire a Staff Associate II. The Staff Associate II will assist in developing the state-of-the art Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) methods as applied to epilepsy imaging in pediatric populations. The Staff Associate II is expected to aid in rapid clinical translation of such methods. Tangible deliverables expected would be contributions toward manuscript submissions and grant applications to disseminate and advance these topics.
