美国NIH肌肉扩散磁共振成像博后职位

A postdoctoral position in musculoskeletal magnetic resonance is available, shared between the Longitudinal Study Section and the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy Section at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) of the National Institutes of Health, located in Baltimore, Maryland. The work will center on spectroscopic and imaging studies of muscle in human subjects, mainly in the context of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, one of the landmark studies of the National Institute on Aging. Investigation of diffusion, including anomalous diffusion, in the assessment of muscle quality and age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) is a particular focus for this position. Results will be correlated with a wide range of other biological and functional outcomes to explore the basis and consequences of structural changes that occur with age and with age-associated disease. Other research opportunities may be available depending upon the interests and background of the successful candidate
