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.
