Assistant Professor

The USC Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute aims to enhance discovery through the application of imaging and other data and information technologies in the study of the brain. The Institute is dedicated to excellence in data acquisition, analysis, stewardship and computational innovation for the purpose of biomedical research.

The institute is comprised of the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI), the Imaging Genetics Center (IGC) and the Center for Image Acquisition (CIA). The Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI) seeks to improve understanding of the brain in health and disease. The laboratory manages considerable computational infrastructure and is dedicated to the development of scientific approaches for the comprehensive mapping of brain structure and function. The Imaging Genetics Center (IGC) is involved in studying brain imaging, genetics, and the connections between them. The Center for Image Acquisition (CIA) is home to a Siemens Magnetom Prisma, a new 3 Tesla MRI scanner and a Siemens Magnetom 7T MRI scanner, and is focused on the development and application of innovative MR image acquisition in normal and diseased subjects.

In addition to the research goals, INI trains the next generation of scientists through the Masters in Neuroimaging and Informatics program. This one-year advanced program of study will provide students with a deep understanding of the scientific and clinical underpinnings of neuroimaging science and how to leverage it in large-scale to make new and important discoveries in biomedicine.

The USC Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute seeks highly-qualified applicants for the position of Assistant Professor of Research (non-tenure track) and Assistant Professor (tenure track). The successful applicant will have a minimum 5+ years experience in medical imaging algorithm development, particularly in these areas: brain shape analysis, discrete differential geometry, brain image and surface registration, brain structural connectivity analysis. We require a strong mathematical background, particularly in areas of variational calculus, differential geometry, network theory, optimization and statistics, with a PhD in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, or related disciplines. The applicant must demonstrate extensive programming skills in several languages, such as C++, Python, Matlab, Java, R. The applicant must have substantial experience in implementing automated processing software for brain MRI data. Ideally, this should be demonstrated by both (a) publicly available distributed software packages, authored by the applicant; and (b) sufficient number of publications utilizing the software tools by groups both external and internal to the applicant’s institution. Some application of the software tools to imaging genetics is particularly desirable. The applicant must be internationally recognized for their technical and mathematical sophistication, as demonstrated by first-author publications in premier medical imaging conferences and journals: IPMI, MICCAI, IEEE TMI, etc.

The applicant must have demonstrated teaching and leadership ability, for example via organized workshops, and student mentorship. Further, the applicant must have demonstrated the ability to procure independent research funding.

學校簡介：
南加州大學(University of Southern California，縮寫USC)是一所中等大小的私立綜合性全國大學，成立于1880年，位于美國西部大都會洛杉磯市區，該校是加州最古老的私立研究型大學。作為全球化大都市，洛杉磯吸引了世界各地的人，而位于洛杉磯市的南加大成為了美國大學中，國際學生最多的大學。南加大利用洛杉磯這個有利環境預備建立亞洲與太平洋沿岸的研究與農業研究機構。根據卡內基教育基金會2005年公布的大學分類，南加大被歸類為“研究活動非常活躍的研究型大學”(very high research activity)。

南加大的體育成績亦很彪炳。它是美國所有大學中曾奪得第二多冠軍獎的大學，總共得到104個冠軍，曾是亞裔球星林書豪最心儀的學校。

學校歷史與環境簡介

南加大USC是一所衛理宗會大學，校地由三位富有的洛杉磯居民捐贈。大學開設時，共招收了53位學生和10位教職人員。首屆畢業生有3人：兩男一女。數十年后，南加大不再帶有宗教信仰，正式獨立于衛理宗會。

南加大在獨立后不斷成長，除了位于洛杉磯市區南方2英里的主要校區(大學公園分校)之外，學校在市區北方2英里處還設立了健康科學校區;在爾灣(Irvine)的橘郡，設立了商學、藥學、社工和教育學院;弗吉尼亞州阿靈頓以及Marina del Rey建立的信息科學研究所;環境研究學院設立在距洛杉磯20英里的卡塔利娜島;公共政策與規劃發展學院則位于衛星校區加州薩克拉門托。

2005年，南加大于華盛頓特區成立了聯邦關系辦事處，在阿罕布拉市設立健康科學校區，基礎保健護理計劃、衛生健康與疾病預防研究所(IPR)以及公共健康碩士學學位課程。
