A full-time post-baccalaureate position is available in the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Laboratory at Stanford University under the direction of Ian Gotlib, Ph.D., to help with studies of neural aspects of affective information-processing in adults diagnosed with depression or social anxiety, and in young children of depressed parents.

Applicants must have experience using fMRI and using AFNI to analyze fMRI data.
