Minnesota Neuroimaging Postdoctoral Fellowship

Application Deadline is June 15, 2022.

The last decade ushered in amazing advances in neuroimaging due to transformative developments in magnetic resonance and optical imaging techniques as well as in computational and modeling tools. A common thread in these advances is their multi-disciplinary nature, requiring collaborations among medical researchers, engineers, physicists, mathematicians, data scientists, and many others. In order to continue the pace of technical advances in neuroimaging and to exploit their unique capabilities for brain research and medical applications, it is critical to train the next generation of neuroimaging specialists in a setting

1) With an abundance of state-of-the-art tools

2) With a programmatic interest in developing novel neuroimaging technologies and biomedical applications

3) Where trainees can carry out groundbreaking research under multi-disciplinary mentorship.

Fellowships are funded by the College of Science and Engineering's and the Medical School's NIH funded T32 Neuroimaging Grant. The maximum award is for two years and each fellow will receive a stipend starting at $53,760 and support for travel, tuition, and health costs for a total of up to $70,000 per year in financial support. Fellowships will be awarded to outstanding postdoctoral trainees pursuing neuroimaging research. Recipients will be notified in August 2022. The fellowship program can begin as early as Fall 2022.

The fellowship aims to provide recipient's multi-disciplinary skills in neuroimaging technology development and advanced biomedical applications, guidance in career development, and social/networking support through this intense two-year neuroimaging fellowship at University of Minnesota. Each fellow's primary research will be conducted on a multi-disciplinary project that combines their background with another field with the express goal of developing new neuroimaging technologies.
