Part-Time Research Assistant: Preclinical MRI/MRS in the Guo Lab

The HBIL at Columbia University is recruiting a part-time Research Assistant to support ongoing 9.4T small-animal MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) research.

The Research Assistant will contribute to preclinical imaging studies involving MRI/MRS acquisition, protocol development and optimization, animal imaging-related work, and imaging data processing and analysis. This position provides an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with high-field preclinical MRI/MRS and quantitative biomedical imaging research.

Responsibilities

  • Assist with 9.4T small-animal MRI/MRS acquisitions
  • Support MRI/MRS protocol development and optimization
  • Assist with animal imaging-related experimental procedures
  • Perform MRI/MRS data processing, analysis, and quality control
  • Support ongoing research projects and associated data organization

Qualifications

We are particularly interested in students with backgrounds in:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Data Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Electrical or Computer Engineering
  • Related quantitative, computational, or biomedical fields

Prior experience with MRI/MRS, medical imaging, signal processing, programming, or preclinical research is beneficial but not required. Applicants should be interested in learning both the experimental and computational aspects of biomedical imaging research.

Position Details

Compensation: $23/hour
Commitment: Approximately 10-20 hours per week
Location: Columbia University, New York, NY
