Fwd: Two postdoc jobs: neural decoding of language, and similarity-based neural representations
by Gary Green 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester in the lab of Rajeev Raizada (http://raizadalab.org). Both positions will involve applying multivoxel pattern-based fMRI analysis to seeking to understand the structure of neural representations. One position will concentrate especially on the neural decoding of language, in particular the semantic representation of words embedded in sentences. The other position will focus on exploring similarity-based representations, relating neural similarity structure to the visual and semantic similarity of objects. Applicants must have a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, computer science or a related field. Experience in some or all of the following areas would be ideal: fMRI data analysis, machine learning (especially kernel-based or Bayesian approaches), computational linguistics (for the language decoding postdoc), computer vision or visual psychophysics (for the object-similarity postdoc). Experience with Matlab or some other scientific programming language (e.g. SciPy, R) is required. Salary will be on the standard NIH postdoc payscale. Both positions are available immediately and have funding for a two year period, although they could potentially be extended beyond that time if mutually agreed and if additional funding is obtained. To apply, please send a description of your research interests, a CV, the names of three referees, and weblinks to representative publications to rajeev.raizada(a)gmail.com , specifying in the subject-line which of the two positions you are applying to. Large files such as PDFs of papers should be sent as weblinks (e.g. to your publications webpage, or using Dropbox) rather than as e.mail attachments. If you will be attending the upcoming Society for Neuroscience conference then it might be possible to meet there, otherwise interviews can be conducted via Skype. The Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester (http://www.bcs.rochester.edu) has a strong focus on computational and statistical studies of neural representations, and has researchers working in language, vision, computation, development and neuroimaging. The Rochester Center for Brain Imaging (http://rcbi.rochester.edu) has a research-dedicated 3T Siemens Trio scanner.

*Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position at University of Pittsburgh * The Maternal Affective Neuroscience Laboratory, headed by Drs. Eydie Moses-Kolko, Alison Hipwell and Mary Phillips at the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic of the University of Pittsburgh, seeks a full-time postdoctoral research fellow supported by funds from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The start date is flexible, although Fall 2013 is preferred. This position is for up to 2.5 years. We are looking for a postdoctoral associate to work on a study investigating the neural underpinnings of affective disorders and mother-infant caregiving in young, 3-6mo postpartum mothers. Specifically, the postdoctoral associate will be involved with the neuroimaging component of the study, which measures responding in neural reward circuits, affective face-processing circuits, empathy circuits while attending to infant cry, as well as resting neural circuitry. This R01 grant funded by the NICHD is a substudy of the Pittsburgh Girls’ Study, a longitudinal study in which measures of affective, cognitive, and behavioral functioning in a large, high-risk sample have been measured since childhood. This substudy project can thereby test scientific questions within a developmental context as well as examine transgeneration mechanisms of psychopathology. The successful candidate will primarily be responsible for collecting and analyzing fMRI and behavioral data and writing scientific papers and giving scientific presentations. Other duties will include assisting as needed with evaluations of mothers and infants and to follow study procedures regarding management of data, to generally add to the smooth flow of the project as needed. This relies on close collaboration with research coordinators, research assistants, graduate and undergraduate students, and investigators. Position qualifications include a PhD in psychology, neuroscience, or a related field or an MD psychiatrist at the postdoctoral level; experience with fMRI acquisition and analysis; strong experimental and statistical skills; the ability to work independently and in a team environment on multiple tasks and projects and to share one’s expertise with others. Experience with neuroimaging software programs (AFNI, FSL, MATLAB, SPM, or other relevant programs), programming for fMRI tasks (E-prime, Presentation), and statistical analysis (SPM, SPSS, SAS) is highly desired. Strong interests in the development and pathophysiology of depression and are valuable. Excellent scientific writing skills are also desired. Located in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic of UPMC (WPIC) is considered one of the nation's foremost university-based psychiatric care facilities, housing the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. For more than 60 years, WPIC has been a national leader in providing research-based care and treatment of mental health and addictive disorders. As part of UPMC, WPIC provides a comprehensive range of behavioral health services for individuals, including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors who are at every stage in their recovery. WPIC has a large community of post-doctoral scholars and associates and a longstanding history of success in developing post-doctoral researchers toward independent research careers. The Department of Psychiatry has a total research portfolio of over $ 70 million annually, including nine T32 post-doctoral training grants. During the current fiscal year, these grants support a community of more than 68 post-doctoral researchers whose research career development is supported by structured and informal mentoring activities. Our faculty have a strong commitment to excellence in mentorship. Please address questions or send a letter of research interests, a CV and contact information for three references to Eydie Moses-Kolko (mosesEL(a)upmc.edu <mailto:mosesEL@upmc.edu>). Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Thank you for your interest, Eydie Moses-Kolko ************************************************* Eydie Moses-Kolko, MD Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine office: 412-624-9152 fax: 412-383-8336
