Neuropsychiatry Postdoctoral Neuroimaging Fellowship

 

The Brain & Behavior Laboratory and the Conte Center for Basic and Translational Mental Health Research at the University of Pennsylvania seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow to join our group.  The focus of the program is to integrate basic and clinical neuroscience research in a cohesive effort to elucidate neural substrates of complex behavior, with an emphasis on neurodevelopment.  Converging multidisciplinary approaches by collaborating laboratories at the University of Pennsylvania aim to provide a new understanding of the symptoms, pathophysiology and etiology of psychosis.   The Fellow will help investigate how aberrations in brain development contribute to the development of psychopathology and impact cognition and emotion. The Fellow will take part in our ongoing large-scale study of neurodevelopmental genomics.

 Eligibility for a postdoctoral appointment requires an advanced degree (M.D., Ph.D. or equivalent) in a relevant discipline (neuroscience, psychology, engineering, statistics).  The candidate must have substantial prior experience with multimodal neuroimaging data analysis, and have a record of productivity.   Programming skills are essential, including fluency in matlab, bash, and at least one statistical package. An applicant must certify that he/she has received his/her degree before the appointment is processed and must be eligible for employment in the US (citizenship of appropriate visa).
