The Parkinsonism Neuroimaging Laboratory at Emory University is looking for ambitious, motivated scientists to join our team for postdoctoral fellowship. Our goal is to develop MRI and multimodal tools to better understand Parkinson's disease and related conditions. The outputs of our translational research program are imaging markers that may inform clinical trial designs, alone or in combination with molecular approaches. A strong interest in neuroscience applications for MRI and multimodal strategies is required. Ideal candidates will have image processing experience and strong data analysis skills. Previous experience using FSL, Freesurfer or other image processing packages will be useful. Python coding and MATLAB skills will also be useful. Qualified candidates will have excellent scientific writing ability and strong oral communication skills. This position will provide opportunity for educational growth in the development and application of novel MRI technologies for the study of parkinsonian diseases.

You have the power to impact the future of millions living with conditions like yours by participating in a Brain Imaging Research Study at Emory. Currently there are no medications to slow or stop these diseases. With your help, we can change that.

We are recruiting healthy volunteers and patients with Parkinson’s disease, Multiple System atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and other forms of parkinsonism to participate in an MRI study of these conditions. We are also recruiting patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder. The goal of the research study is to develop new imaging tools that can improve clinical trials for Parkinson’s disease and related conditions. These imaging tools are needed to accelerate the development of better treatments.

The study visit consists of an MRI scan (approximately 1 hour), a blood draw, and a 3-4 hour neurological evaluation. You will be compensated for your time.

You may be eligible to participate if you:
- Have Parkinson’s disease, MSA, PSP, DLB, or Parkinson’s disease dementia.
- Have idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder.
- Are a healthy adult over the age of 30.
- Do not have any contraindications to MRI (metal fragments in your body, pacemaker, deep brain stimulation implant) and are not pregnant or claustrophobic.
