Fwd: Postdoc positions at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School

The John and Charlene Madison Cassidy Fellowship in Translational Neuroscience Two post-doctoral positions are available within the Laboratory for Affective and Translational Neuroscience at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School, directed by Diego A. Pizzagalli, Ph.D. The laboratory is part of the Center for Depression, Anxiety and Stress Research (CDASR), a new research center that embraces a multi-disciplinary approach to improve our understanding of the psychological, environmental, and neurobiological factors associated with depression, anxiety and related disorders across the lifespan (http://cdasr.mclean.harvard.edu/). Currently ongoing studies in Dr. Pizzagalli's laboratory focus on reward processing, stress responsivity, and executive functioning in a range of populations including individuals with major depression, mood spectrum disorders, as well as at-risk samples (e.g., offspring of parents with MDD; individuals with past MDD). These studies employ a variety of approaches, including high-density EEG, fMRI, PET, MRS, molecular genetics, and assays of hormonal/inflammatory markers. Opportunities will be available to pursue independent research and interdisciplinary collaborations across Harvard Medical School. Depending on research focus, candidates will have access to research-dedicated human (3 T, 4 T) and animal (9.4 T) MRI scanners, as well as 128-channel EEG systems. Experience with EEG/ERP and/or fMRI techniques as well as clinical training is preferred, but candidates with a strong background in only one of these domains will also be considered. To apply, send a CV, three letters of reference, and a letter describing your research interests to David Crowley (djcrowley(a)mclean.harvard.edu <mailto:djcrowley@mclean.harvard.edu>).
