Lab Technician/Research Assistant
The Brain Circuits Laboratory, led by Drs. Steven Small and Ana Solodkin, is seeking a highly motivated Lab Technician interested in the computational modeling for early diagnosis of Alzheimer Disease.
This position will utilize model-based and model free metrics as individual fingerprinting for early diagnosis in dementia specially in Alzheimer Disease. The approach seeks to assess brain dynamics to provide a mechanistic assessment in converters to AD. The modeling approach will utilize The Virtual Brain neuroinformatics platform. The work entails significant effort in computational neuroscience and biophysics. This position is tied to the North Texas Alzheimer Disease Research Center and is funded by the NIH.
The Solodkin/Small Brain Circuits Laboratory is located in the Texas Instruments Biomedical Engineering and Sciences Building on the campus of UT Southwestern Medical Center. Address: 2336 Inwood Rd, Dallas, TX 75235. The lab benefits from close proximity to world-class research facilities, including:
- The UT Dallas Center for BrainHealth (featuring two Siemens Prisma 3T MRI systems)
- The UT Dallas Center for Vital Longevity, a leading institute for brain aging research
- The Advanced Imaging Research Center at UT Southwestern (housing a 7T MRI scanner and a MEG unit)
- The Departments of Neurology and Psychiatry at UT Southwestern Medical Center
Dallas is a major international economic hub offering a vibrant cultural scene, thriving communities, and world-class sports and entertainment, all within a temperate climate.
