Position Summary:
The primary function of this position is to develop a translational MR imaging research program focused on neonatal development. The primary focus of this work would be the assessment of cardiac and brain development across the lifespan in children born prematurely. This position would help to build and optimize clinical imaging protocols as well as develop a translational MR imaging research program. The successful applicant would collaborate extensively with researchers and clinicians, within the Department of Pediatrics, who are considered world leaders in the care of extremely preterm infants born as early as 22 weeks and developmental hemodynamics related to the immature heart and circulation. This position would also have strong collaborations with the Departments of Psychiatry, Neurology, and Cardiology as well as with the MR Research Facility. This position is also expected to develop image analysis pipelines for the analysis of anatomical and functional MR imaging data. This will include the development of analysis tools to generate quantitative results from the acquired data. This will include helping optimize existing clinical sequences in cardiac imaging. In addition, this position will report the results from these efforts in scientific publications as well as support the writing and submission of grant applications. Dependent on candidate, performance-based promotion to a tenure-track faculty position is anticipated in line with the strategic development plan of the program.
The incumbent is expected to work in a fast-paced research environment with diverse team of investigators, students, and staff members. The University of Iowa has state-of-the-art MR facilities including a 1.5T Siemens Aera and 3T Siemens Vida in the Stead Family Children's Hospital as well as research dedicated 3T GE Premier and 7T GE MR950 whole body scanners and a 7T GE MR901 for small animal imaging in the MR Research Facility. Finally, we have an open bay for the placement of the next generation Siemens PET/MR when that becomes available.
