The Cohen Laboratory in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, directed by Dr. Jessica Cohen, is seeking a full-time lab manager or research assistant beginning January 2016. We investigate how functional brain networks interact and reconfigure when confronted with changing cognitive demands, when experiencing transformations across development, and when facing disruptions in healthy functioning due to disease. The lab uses behavioral, neuroimaging, and clinical approaches taken from neuroscience, psychology, and mathematics to address our research questions. This is an excellent position for anyone who would like to pursue graduate work in cognitive, developmental, and/or clinical neuroscience.

Responsibilities include recruiting and scheduling participants for research studies (healthy adults, typically developing children, and children with ADHD), data collection (MRI and behavioral), data analysis (using neuroimaging software such as FSL, SPM, AFNI), administrative duties, IRB management, and general management of lab operations.

Necessary qualifications include: 1) an undergraduate degree in Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or a related field; 2) prior research experience with human participants; and 3) strong organizational, interpersonal communication, and writing skills, and high motivation and initiative. Preference will be given to applicants who additionally have experience with: 1) unix, python, matlab, or another programming language; 2) neuroimaging analysis software (e.g., FSL, AFNI, SPM); 3) collecting and analyzing fMRI data; and 4) working with children.

Commitment must be for at least one year, but position can be extended.

Interested applicants should send their CV, at least two letters of reference, transcript with relevant coursework, and a cover letter describing their research interests and career goals to Dr. Jessica Cohen (jrcohen@unc.edu). Additional information can be found at: http://cohenlab.web.unc.edu/

Postdoctoral position: 
MULTIMODAL IMAGING OF NETWORK CONNECTIVITY IN AUTISM
Brain Development Imaging Laboratory

	The Brain Development Imaging Laboratory (BDIL) at the Dept. of Psychology, San Diego State University (SDSU), is offering 1-2 postdoctoral positions in multimodal MRI. Post-doctoral positions will be supported by several newly funded NIH projects examining brain network organization across the lifespan in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). 
	Research at BDIL (www.sci.sdsu.edu/bdil) applies diffusion weighted imaging techniques (tensor-based, multi-fiber, multi-shell imaging), anatomical MRI, fMRI, functional connectivity MRI, MR spectroscopy as well as behavioral and neuropsychological measures to investigate the brain bases of ASD and age-related change across the lifespan (1-65 years). BDIL collaborates with experts in MR physics, radiology, EEG, MEG, and bioinformatics to implement innovative imaging and analysis techniques (e.g., simultaneous fMR/EEG recording, combined MEG and MRI). BDIL researchers have full access to the UCSD Center for Functional MRI (http://fmri.ucsd.edu/), with two 3T human research scanners (32 channel head coils), led by top experts in radiology physics. 
Applicants should have experience in multimodal MRI (data acquisition, preprocessing, analysis). Experience in other imaging modalities (EEG, MEG) will be relevant, but not indispensable. Applicants with experience in the study of autism or other developmental disorders may be preferred.
Please e-mail CV, research statement, reprints, and 3 letters of recommendation to Ralph-Axel Müller at: rmueller@sdsu.edu.

University of Connecticut
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Postdoctoral Fellow in Cognitive Neuroscience

The University of Connecticut’s new Brain Imaging Research Center (BIRC) invites  The BIRC is a 3,200 square foot, research-dedicated imaging facility housing a research-dedicated 3T Siemens Prisma scanner and simultaneous high-density EEG/ERP, with a major focus of cognitive neuroscience research. 

The Postdoctoral Fellow will contribute to multiple funded NIH studies of language processing, reading, word acquisition, and cognition, under PIs Dr. Jay Rueckl and Dr. Peter Molfese. Prior experience in research using MRI/fMRI is required. Responsibilities will include the design and execution of fMRI and behavioral experiments; fMRI data analysis; formulating and participating in writing of scientific papers as part of the research team; participating in grant writing towards the eventual goal of independent funding; and developing independent projects in the areas of speech, reading, and language.


Minimum Qualifications:
·      Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, or Related Field
·      Experience with fMRI Experimental Design
·      Experience with MRI/fMRI Data Analysis (e.g. AFNI, FSL, SPM, Freesurfer)

Preferred Qualifications:
·      Strong Analytical & Statistical Skills (e.g. SEM, HLM, Data Mining)
·      Experience with EEG/ERP Data Collection and Analysis
·      Programming Skills (e.g. C/C++, Python, R, E-PRIME)
·      Experience with Computational Modeling

The anticipated start date is September 1, 2015, but is negotiable.  Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.  Interested applicants should send a cover letter describing qualifications, a CV, and any supporting materials to UConn Careers (www.jobs.uconn.edu). Select “Apply Now" to be redirected to Academic Jobs Online to complete your application. Names of three references should be included in the cover letter; letters will be submitted to Academic Jobs Online.

Inquiries can be addressed to Peter Molfese, Chair o   Screening of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.  The University of Connecticut is an EEO/AA employer.
