The Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (SCAN) Laboratory at McLean Hospital, a
Teaching Affiliate of Harvard Medical School, has a post-doctoral fellowship position open
immediately in functional and structural neuroimaging analysis. Our lab is currently
funded to conduct several studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),
diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), voxel-based morphometry (VBM), and magnetic resonance
spectroscopy (MRS) in healthy normal volunteers and individuals with traumatic brain
injury. We are seeking a candidate with an exceptional background in data analysis and
signal processing to lead these analysis efforts. A Ph.D. in neuroimaging, neuroscience,
and/or related field is required. Preference will be given to candidates with strong
backgrounds in computational methods used in neuroimaging (e.g., Matlab, UNIX, LINUX,
C/C++, SPM, AFNI, Freesurfer, FSL) and experience writing/scripting Matlab code.
Exceptional skills in experimental design, quantitative methods, statistical modeling, and
the ability to carry out independent data entry and sophisticated statistical analyses
using standard software packages (e.g., SPSS, BMDP, JMP, SAS) are particularly desirable.
The successful candidate must demonstrate solid mastery of written English and show
evidence of peer-reviewed publications.
The interested candidate should send a letter of interest, CV, and three letters of
recommendation to:
