    POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT

    POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
    Oral Pharyngeal Function & Ultrasound Imaging Laboratory
    Oral Motor Function Section
    Physical Disabilities Branch, Rehabilitation Medicine Department
    Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center
    National Institutes of Health
    Bethesda, Maryland, USA

    Annual Base Stipend Range: $33,000 - $45,400

    DESCRIPTION

    The Postdoctoral Fellow will work with Dr. Gloria Chi-Fishman in the
    implementation of a project aimed at better understanding the structure and
    function of the human tongue in health, aging, and disease. This project
    uses cutting-edge DTI/MRI and ultrasound technologies to study lingual
    architecture as well as task-induced changes in tongue volumetrics,
    hemodynamics, kinetics, and kinematics. The ultimate objective is to
    develop a physiologically based, multi-component, 3D model of the tongue
    with powerful tools for evaluating theories about tongue architecture and
    function and devising innovative treatment methodologies and strategies.
    The Postdoctoral Fellow will be responsible for data collection and
    analysis and is expected to contribute to research design. In addition,
    the individual will assume considerable responsibility in programming and
    soft tissue modeling.

    A doctoral degree in engineering, MRI physics, computer science, or
    comparable academic background is required. Knowledge and experience in
    imaging and image processing and analysis techniques, as well as skills in
    programming are essential.

    Added benefits will be prorated at 20% of base stipend.

    Interested applicants should submit resume, career plan, detailed
    description of past image analysis and programming experiences, and
    transcript (copy acceptable) to: Dr. Gloria Chi-Fishman, 10/6s235, PDB
    RMD-CC, National Institutes of Health, 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD
    20892,
