*Postdoctoral position, San Diego, California* *Overview:* Research in the "Spatio-temporal brain imaging laboratory", uses multimodal functional imaging methods including electro- and magnetoencephalography as well as structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate "where and when" characteristics of distributed neural circuits underlying cognitive and affective functions such as decision making, inhibitory control, language, and emotion perception. Of particular interest are alcohol-related impairments of self-regulatory functions in the context of neurotransmitter genetic markers. We also collaborate on projects focusing on brain-based disorders such as autism. The primary responsibilities of the post-doctoral scholar will include designing studies, optimizing analysis protocols in the context of a multimodal anatomically-constrained MEG/EEG method, integrating fMRI and genetic results, analyzing and interpreting data, and writing up manuscripts and presenting results to scientific community. This fellowship includes opportunities for development and implementation of novel approaches to data analysis, as well as potential for seeking independent funding The position is an overtime exempt classification intended to cover the employee with a doctoral degree or equivalent who is employed for a defined period of mentored advanced training to enhance professional skills and research independence in the fellow’s academic discipline. This position is not intended to be part of a clinical training program. The postdoctoral research fellow works under the supervision of an SDSU faculty member. *Qualifications:* *Minimum Education* * A doctoral degree or equivalent in an appropriate field *Knowledge and Abilities*** Theoretical knowledge of Psychology, Neurobiology, Neuroscience, Human anatomy and Neurophysiology or related fields * Proven familiarity with MRI scanner and MEG/EEG apparatus * Demonstrated experience with Linux operating system and good Matlab programming skills * Preferred qualifications* * Strong motivation to carry out neuroimaging studies in the domain of cognitive functions with a particular emphasis on alcohol effects on the brain * Demonstrated experience with MEG/EEG biophysics, source estimation algorithms, and signal processing * Additional experience with structural and functional MR imaging and analysis streams is a plus * Excellent verbal communication and writing skills; organizational skills and leadership potential and experience with external funding applications * Demonstrated ability to work independently but collaboratively in a changing, multiple-demand setting and ability to prioritize work load dynamically and meet deadlines efficiently * Programming (Matlab) competence Starting salary: $44,000.

Hi all, During the remainder of Spring term, YNiC Open Plan will be in use for teaching at various times. 0900-1300 Tuesdays (starting from 13th January) 1100-1600 Thursdays (starting from 15th January) (except Week 6 which is a reading week) In general, we expect there to be some spare capacity within Open Plan during these sessions but priority will be given to students attending classes. All machines will be logged out at the start of sessions if people have left themselves logged in. If you are in open plan during these sessions, we would ask that you use the computers at the back of the room (furthest from the teaching area). Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Mark
