The Minnesota Neuroimaging Postdoctoral Fellowship Program helps trainees develop multi-disciplinary skills in neuroimaging technology development and advanced biomedical application.

December 10, 2021—A new University of Minnesota training program will help postdoctoral fellows become leaders in neuroimaging, with support from a $1.07 million NIH training grant.

Department of Biomedical Engineering Professor Tay Netoff, PhD, co-directs the program with Kamil Ugurbil, PhD, who directs the University’s world-renowned Center for Magnetic Resonance Research. 

“The neuroimaging field is advancing rapidly, and it’s critical that the next generation of leaders keep the momentum going,” says Tay Netoff, PhD. “Our program gives them the training, mentorship, and experiences to do just that.” 

Training fellows in cutting-edge research

Trainees in the Minnesota Neuroimaging Postdoctoral Fellowship Program receive:

  • Training that helps them develop multi-disciplinary skills in neuroimaging technology development and advanced biomedical application.
  • Access to the University’s state-of-the-art magnetic and optical imaging tools.
  • The opportunity to conduct a multi-disciplinary research project that aims to develop new neuroimaging technologies.
  • Career development guidance.
  • Social support and networking opportunities.
