Fwd: Postdoc Position in Adolescent Emotion Regulation fMRI
by Gary Green 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

The Clinical Neuroscience & Development Laboratory at the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center (www.nrc-iol.org/onrc_labs_cnd.asp) is seeking to 1 or 2 postdoctoral research positions 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 research assistants. Our mission is to conduct cutting-edge clinical 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 information for at least 3 academic references including letters of recommendation if already available to Dr. Michael C. Stevens (Michael.Stevens(a)hhchealth.org), CNDLAB Director, Olin NRC, 200 Retreat Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106.

Fwd:] PhD opportunity
by Gary Green 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

PhD Candidate: Organizing Principles of the Motor System The motor system of the human brain not only controls our movements, but also plays a fundamental role in many aspects of our cognition. Surprisingly, how this system is organized largely remains a mystery. Traditional models suggest an organization according to effectors (arm, leg, fingers), but recent models suggest a more ecologically valid organization scheme based on clustering by movement categories (e.g. reaching to grasp something, climbing, etc). In this project we aim to solve this controversy by using a variety of brain imaging methods to investigate the anatomy and function of the primate motor system. You will conduct MRI-based investigations of the anatomical organization of the human and non-human parietal and premotor cortex. This work involves, among others, comparative diffusion MRI tractography work and has a strong computational focus. In addition, you will use non-invasive brain stimulation methods to investigate the functional interactions between areas of the extended motor system during grasping behaviour in humans. The project will be embedded in one of the research programmes of the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour at the Radboud University in Nijmegen (Netherlands). You will be supervised by Dr Rogier Mars and Prof Pieter Medendorp. You will be based at Donders Institute, but you will also make research visits to our collaborators at the University of Oxford.
