    Stony Brook University (Stony Brook, NY)


    Postdoctoral Associate

    **Required Qualifications:** (as evidenced by an attached resume)

     

    PhD (or foreign equivalent) in Biomedical Engineering, Medical Physics, Electrical, Computer Engineering or a closely related field. Proficiency in MATLAB or Python. Prior experience with Neuroimaging analysis and/or medical image analysis. At least one journal publication as first author.

    Preferred Qualifications:

    PhD with a strong background in MRI physics. Hands-on experience with Siemens MRI scanners. Hands-on experience with Linux operating systems.

    Brief Description of Duties:

    The Postdoctoral Associate will assist the Principal Investigator Dr. Yicun Wang (https://renaissance.stonybrookmedicine.edu/radiology/research/laboratories/Yicun-Wang) in the Department of Radiology (https://renaissance.stonybrookmedicine.edu/radiology/research/overview) . The incumbent will conduct research and ensure that all experiments are appropriately conducted following the policies and procedures of Stony Brook University.

     

    We are looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate for a two-year appointment (with the possibility of extension) in Dr. Yicun Wang’s Neuroimaging laboratory in the Department of Radiology at Stony Brook University. The successful candidate will lead efforts to quantify multi-scale neurofluid dynamics, including blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid movement, using state-of-the-art MRI methods alongside simultaneous physiological monitoring. The Postdoctoral Associate should possess good verbal and written communication skills in English, the ability to work productively and independently in a collaborative environment, strong problem-solving skills, and be willing to provide mentorship to junior members of the laboratory.

     

    • Data acquisition and sequence implementation: operate a 3 T Siemens Prisma Fit (and additional 3 T systems if desired) to collect structural and dynamic MRI data.

    • Quantitative analysis: develop pipelines for dynamic MRI and physiologic data; integrate multimodal metrics to uncover fluid‑flow interactions.

    • Clinical collaboration, working closely with neurologists and neurosurgeons on studies of healthy aging and hydrocephalus (pre‑and post‑shunt) as well as other patient cohorts.

    • Dissemination and mentorship: present results at conferences, prepare manuscripts for peer‑reviewed journals, and mentor graduate students and research assistants.

    • Other duties as assigned, depending on the research interest of the incumbent may include MRI pulse sequence and/or reconstruction development across multiple 3 T platforms, and participation in complementary projects such as longitudinal quantitative MRI of brain aging and PET/MRI studies of neuroinflammation.
