Subject: [NLC2010] Postdoctoral Fellow / Research Scientist Position at
The Center for BrainHealth at UT Dallas
Postdoctoral Fellow / Research Scientist Position
Cognitive Neuroscientist in Adolescent Reasoning and Brain Development
The Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas in
collaboration with The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center seeks to
fill a Postdoctoral Research position in Cognitive Neurosciences with a
productive and innovative investigator whose research interests address brain
plasticity, cognitive training and reasoning. Applicable research experience
desired includes an understanding of hierarchical cognitive strategies that
support higher-order reasoning processes to foster deeper understanding and
strengthen overall brain function and reasoning during adolescence in daily
life. Additional experience would be useful but not required in multi-modality
neuroimaging platforms (electrophysiology, MR technology, PET, etc.) and genetic
factors related to frontal lobe and higher order cognitive development in
adolescence. The research may be applied to elucidate the emergence and
treatment effects acquired during normal development and in brain injuries or
psychiatric diseases such as Traumatic Brain Injury, Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Addictions, Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorders, Mood Disorders, and Schizophrenia.
School
of Behavioral
& Brain Sciences
Qualifications for the position include:
PhD, preferably completed in neuroscience, neuropsychology,
neurocognition, or related field;
familiarity with fMRI, EEG, and physiological measures;
an ability to work well in a multidisciplinary, highly
collaborative research team;
an interest in translational research between neuroscience and
clinical populations;
and a strong record or potential for scholarly productivity.
The Center for BrainHealth is located in downtown Dallas adjacent
to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. The Center’s research
is dedicated to applying cutting edge brain research to clinical populations to
study brain plasticity. These projects cover a wide range of cognitive
functions across the life-span, across a multitude of disorders, and across the
most current functional brain imaging technologies. Established access
available to special subject populations including: Alzheimers Disease (AD),
Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), ADHD,
Autism, Military and Former Military, as well as healthy Aging, Stroke,
Adolescent, and Pediatric groups. Access to state of the art facilities
including: Philips 3T research-dedicated MRI scanner and Four Neuroscan
SynAmps2 systems equipped for both 64 and 128 channel recordings.
Benefits of the job include:
*Ability to be involved with established, innovative,
multidisciplinary collaborations.
*Ability to work on research projects highly relevant to health
outcomes.
*Potential for high publication rate
*High potential for innovation in research design
*Competitive salary and benefits
*One year position, renewable for 2nd year based upon available
funding, performance, and productivity
