COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE POST-DOCTORAL POSITION
Institute for Pediatric Neuroscience, NYU Child Study Center, NYU School of Medicine
The Institute for Pediatric Neuroscience is currently recruiting a post-doctoral fellow interested in identifying and/or characterizing abnormalities in the neural substrates of fundamental cognitive processes, as related to substance use disorders (e.g., nicotine, cocaine) and psychiatric disorders that increase their risk (e.g., ADHD). The fellow will work as part of a multidisciplinary team,
integrating the findings of a broad spectrum of approaches including
- resting state functional MRI
- task-based functional MRI
- diffusion tensor imaging
- voxel-based morphometry
- cortical thickness
The minimum qualifications for a successful candidate include:
- completed PhD in cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, or related fields
- significant prior neuroimaging experience with functional MRI (prior experience with EEG is a plus, but not required)
- strong skills in using one or more common functional neuroimaging
(FSL, SPM, AFNI) packages
Programming experience in Matlab, C/C++ or similar platform is a plus
Anticipated start date: Summer, 2009
