Two Postdoctoral Positions at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School
The Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Department of Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital is offering two postdoctoral positions based on NIH/NSF-funded projects to develop novel multi-modal neuroimaging methodology in animal models for translational studies. This position is open now until filled.

This fellowship is funded by and part of the TRANSFORM DBS project, a Federally funded initiative to revolutionize psychiatric treatment through large-scale human neuroscience and the development of new devices for electrical brain stimulation. The fellow will have an opportunity to work directly with leaders in psychiatry, neurosurgery, neurology, and brain imaging. We anticipate substantial opportunities for mentoring, collaboration development, and high-visibility publication. The project is part of President Obama’s BRAIN Initiative, and both data and software will be widely disseminated. Previous projects in the Martinos Center, including Freesurfer and MNE, have gained widespread adoption as standards in the neuroscience community.

Interesting review article on the global trends for science research! potential research directions in this field, summarizing some popular application areas of machine learning technology, such as healthcare, cyber-security systems, sustainable agriculture, data governance, and nanotechnology, and suggest that the "dissemination of research" in the ML scientific community has undergone the exceptional growth in the time range of 2018–2020, reaching a value of 16,339 publications.

A scientific breakthrough against COVID-19 has been realized by Tel Aviv University. A team of scientists from the university has demonstrated that antibodies isolated from the immune system of recovered COVID-19 patients are effective in neutralizing all known strains of the virus. The study was published on August 5 in the Nature journal Communications Biology.

Our Center invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Radiology at NYU Langone Health. The fellowship will focus on advanced quantitative imaging of the kidney and kidney tumors.
a go-to article for me on what the real cost of publishing is and weighing closed access journals, open access journals or paying for open access.
