*Postdoctoral Researcher*
The Clinical Neuroscience & Development Laboratory at the Olin
Neuropsychiatry Research Center (www.nrc-iol.org/onrc_labs_cnd.asp
<http://www.nrc-iol.org/onrc_labs_cnd.asp>) is seeking to fill 1
postdoctoral research position to work on a new NIMH-funded project that
will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the
architecture of neural networks engaged for emotion regulation in
typically-developing and depressed adolescents. The postdocs will join
a lab whose focus is to study developmental changes in brain
structure/function across early adolescence to young adulthood and
examine neural network function abnormalities in various early-life
psychiatric disorders, including depression, AD/HD, and others.
This is a good opportunity for an applicant who has experience in either
clinical psychology or computational neuroscience, who has particular
interests in developing a career using functional neuroimaging
research. Specific postdoctoral duties would vary depending on skills
and career development interests, ranging from gaining in depth
experience with either the clinical aspects of the project (patient
interviewing, clinical data collection, protocol management, and
supervision of trained clinical research staff), fMRI data analysis
skills (SPM, FSL and functional connectivity analyses of fMRI and
structural brain datasets), or both. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in
Psychology, Neuroscience, or closely related field, solid understanding
of statistical methods and experimental design, and promising clinical
research experience. The ideal candidate will come from a doctoral
program that has provided a strong theoretical foundation in affective
and/or cognitive neuroscience, familiarity or proficiency with fMRI
methods, and competitive skills in either the clinical or analytic domains.
While data is being collected on this new project, the postdoc also will
have access to several large, un-examined archival neuroimaging datasets
with an expectation to work on studies consistent with those projects’
objectives. Training will be provided in sophisticated data analysis
techniques (i.e., independent component analysis, multi-modal analysis,
etc.), and access to the Olin Center’s extensive data collection and
analysis resources (e.g., fMRI, sMRI, DTI, EEG, genotyping,
neuropsychological assessment).
The Olin NRC is a well-established clinical neuroscience center
affiliated with Yale University with over 50 faculty, postdocs and

and cognitive neuroscience research into the causes and treatment of
psychiatric disorders. The Olin Center is located on the grounds of The
Institute of Living / Hartford Hospital, providing access to thousands
of psychiatric patients each year treated in numerous clinical
programs. If interested, please send a statement of scientific
interests, accomplishments and relevant skills, a CV, and contact

Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition & ASTECCA Laboratories,
Department of Psychology, Wright State University
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to take a leading role in our
research on the neurocognitive correlates of attentional control and
lapses of attention in semi-structured ecological settings. The goal of
this project is to rigorously characterize the relationship between
laboratory measures of attentional control and failures of attention in
realistic task contexts. We specifically aim to combine cognitive
behavioral studies, ERP experiments, and computational modeling to test
the extent to which laboratory measures can predict individual
differences in susceptibility to attentional failures. We will
investigate how these combined measures can be used to identify which
individuals are most likely to benefit from a cognitive training
paradigm aimed at enhancing attentional control. The postdoctoral fellow
will be responsible for designing the studies, programming the
experimental paradigms, recruiting participants, and collecting the
data. In addition, the fellow will be responsible for data analysis and
reporting the research findings in peer-reviewed journals.
The position is fully funded for three years. The successful candidate
will hold a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology,
Computer Science, or any other related discipline by the start date of
the position. Experience in computer programming, especially with
Matlab, and familiarity with fMRI or EEG research are required.
Experience in computational cognitive modeling will be considered a
strong advantage.
The Department of Psychology is housed in the College of Science and
Mathematics, offers a Ph.D. in Human Factors and Industrial/
Organizational Psychology, and has 3 undergraduate concentration areas:

We encourage interested researchers to contact Matthias Mittner for
further information about the project.
The prospective candidate must hold a PhD or equivalent in psychology,
informatics, physics or other areas relevant to the research project.
Experience with non-invasive brain stimulation techniques will count in
favour of the candidate as will experience with programming in any
language and/or neuroimaging techniques.
The research project is led by principal investigator Dr. Matthias
Mittner and is embedded in the research group of cognitive neuroscience
at the institute of psychology. We collaborate extensively with Dr.
Alexander Opitz (Nathan Kline Institute, New York) and Dr. Axel
Thielscher (Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance) on the
development of the computational methods required for optimizing the
stimulation techniques.
A prolonged visit to one of our collaborating research groups is
intended as part of the post-doc project.
