• MRI technology

• Human, animal, and clinical models

• Novel methods for recording and stimulating the nervous system

• Quantitative and computational methodologies in neuroscience

Emory is making a substantial investment in preclinical and clinical imaging under the auspices of the Center for Systems Imaging Core, https://www.cores.emory.edu/csic/. The expanded center will be sited in a new building, expected to be completed in the summer of 2022, and will include a new 11.7 T MRI for rodents and a 7T MRI for humans. 

Successful candidate should have a research program synergistic with the existing strengths in the department and in the greater neural engineering communities at Georgia Tech and Emory.
