Postdoctoral Fellowship at Duke-National University of Singapore

Multimodal Neuroimaging in Neuropsychiatric Disorders Laboratory, Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, National University of Singapore is looking for postdoctoral fellow in cognitive neuroscience and/or multimodal neuroimaging.

Our group studies the anatomical and functional connectivity underlying cognition in health and the associated vulnerability patterns in neuropsychiatric disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases (focusing on AD, FTD and preclinical stages) and Schizophrenia. Multimodal neuroimaging and psychophysical techniques are employed, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), resting-state and task-based functional MRI, diffusion MRI, and concurrent fMRI-electroencephalography (EEG). We are interested in examining the network-level brain connectivity dynamics to shed light on the neurobiological mechanism of disease, paving the way for early detection and intervention.


Candidates must have a passionate enthusiasm for research, a strong background in one of the following fields: cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychiatric disorders, neuroimaging analyses, mathematics/statistics/machine learning or related-fields. He/She should also possess the ability to take the initiative, work independently and be motivated to work in a highly collaborative and international research environment, and be able to demonstrate creativity, technical independence and excellent communication skills. Strong interest in studying social-emotion/cognition/memory functions and/or applications of multimodal neuroimaging in neuropsychiatric disorders is preferred. Proven skills in MRI/fMRI/EEG/Diffusion data analyses is a plus.

Key attractions are access to a 3T Siemens Prisma MR scanner and a MR compatible digital EEG system as well as collaboration opportunities with an excellent network of domestic and international scientists and doctors. The position will be two years with possible extension. Competitive package will be provided based on experience.
