Postdoctoral Research Fellow: Longitudinal Neuroimaging of Pelvic Pain in Adolescents and Young Adults

Lead a longitudinal, multimodal neuroimaging study of adolescents and young adults with pelvic pain in the Clinical and Translational Pain Research Laboratory at McLean Hospital. The study combines structural MRI, resting-state and task fMRI, quantitative sensory testing and clinical and psychosocial assessment across several time points; the fellow runs acquisition and quality control, builds reproducible preprocessing pipelines and applies longitudinal models to brain–clinical trajectories.

PhD or equivalent in neuroscience, psychology, biomedical engineering, cognitive neuroscience, medical imaging or a related field by the start date; hands-on human MRI acquisition and analysis; proficiency with a major neuroimaging package and Python, R or MATLAB; working knowledge of longitudinal analysis; a flexible schedule including evenings and weekends. Developmental neuroimaging and chronic-pain research experience are preferred.
