Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit
The UNC School of Medicine has a rich tradition of excellence and care. Our mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of North Carolinians, and others whom we serve. We accomplish this by providing leadership and excellence in the interrelated areas of patient care, education, and research. We strive to promote faculty, staff, and learner development in a diverse, respectful environment where our colleagues demonstrate professionalism, enhance learning, and create personal and professional sustainability. We optimize our partnership with the UNC Health System through close collaboration and commitment to service.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to be the nation’s leading public school of medicine. We are ranked 2nd in primary care education among all US schools of medicine and 5th among public peers in NIH research funding. Our Allied Health Department is home to five top-ranked divisions, and we are home to 18 top-ranked clinical and basic science departments in NIH research funding.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of North Carolinians and others whom we serve. We accomplish this by providing leadership and excellence in the interrelated areas of patient care, education, and research.
Patient Care: We will promote health and provide superb clinical care while maintaining our strong tradition of reaching underserved populations and reducing health disparities across North Carolina and beyond.
Education: We will prepare tomorrow’s health care professionals and biomedical researchers by facilitating learning within innovative curricula and team-oriented interprofessional education. We will cultivate outstanding teaching and research faculty, and we will recruit outstanding students and trainees from highly diverse backgrounds to create a socially responsible, highly skilled workforce.
Research: We will develop and support a rich array of outstanding health sciences research programs, centers, and resources. We will provide infrastructure and opportunities for collaboration among disciplines throughout and beyond our University to support outstanding research. We will foster programs in the areas of basic, translational, mechanistic, and population research.

Position Summary
The department of Radiology and the Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invite applications for a faculty position with research efforts focused on understanding brain network using rodent models. Using fMRI, studies have provided significant insights into unique large-scale functional organizations of the brain. Aberrant communications among brain regions and networks have been suggested as potential biomarkers for various disorders. While fMRI can be utilized to noninvasively depict brain networks, a technical challenge towards mechanistic understandings of these potential biomarkers is to obtain spatially resolved ground-truth cellular activity information. This search aims to identify a rising leader to address this gap.
The State of North Carolina has made significant investment to establish the Biomedical Research Imaging Center, an institution center dedicated to imaging research. The BRIC houses a comprehensive collection of human and animal imaging devices. Of particular relevance to this position are the 3T whole body MR, hybrid PET/MR scanner, whole body 7T MR scanner, and a 9.4T small animal MR scanner. The selected candidate will join a multidisciplinary imaging research team consisting of investigators with diverse yet complementary expertise, including imaging acquisition (MR, PET, SPECT, CT, ultrasound, and optical imaging), and clinical applications/translations. The selected candidate is expected to build a strong and independent research program focusing on multimodal brain imaging across spatiotemporal scales as well as to secure extramural grants.
