Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship in Imaging
 for Autism Spectrum Disorders

The Autism Spectrum Disorders Research Program at the Child Study Center of the NYU Langone Medical Center is looking for a post-doctoral fellow interested in conducting behavioral and neuroimaging research in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and related conditions (e.g., attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Current research applies R-fMRI and diffusion-tensor imaging, as well as simultaneous fMRI/EEG acquisition, and behavioral and neuropsychological measures to investigate biomarkers in children and adults with ASD and related neurodevelopmental disabilities. The fellow will work with PI Adriana Di Martino (primary mentor; NYU CSC) and collaborator Michael P. Milham (Child Mind Institute, Nathan Kline Institute). Position is for a minimum of two years and responsibilities will include but are not limited to study design and data acquisition, data analysis and manuscript preparation.

Minimum Qualifications: Doctoral degree in cognitive neuroscience, computer science, engineering or related areas. Prior experience with one or more functional neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, PET, EEG, MEG) is essential. Must be proficient with computers, scripting/programming (bash, python and/or matlab) and at least one neuroimaging analysis package (AFNI, SPM, FSL).

Applications should include a letter of interest and CV to be emailed to Adriana Di Martino, M.D. Research Director of the Autism Research and Clinical Program at NYU CSC at adriana.dimartino@nyumc.org and Michael Milham, M.D., Ph.D. at michael.milham@childmind.org.
