Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position in the laboratory
of Dr. Signe Bray at the University of Calgary and the Alberta
Children's Hospital Research Institute (ACHRI).
Our group uses brain imaging, primarily with MRI, to study child and
adolescent brain and cognitive development, and atypical trajectories
associated with developmental disorders. Please visit
http://brayneuroimaginglab.ca <http://brayneuroimaginglab.ca/> to learn
more about our research.
The post-doctoral scholar will work on projects related to the
development of brain networks involved in attention and reward, in both
typical children and disorders that affect neurodevelopment (e.g. Autism
Spectrum Disorders, pre-term birth). Facilities include a research
dedicated 3T MR scanner on-site at the Alberta Children's Hospital,
MR-simulator environment, eye-tracking and EEG.
The successful applicant will have experience with functional and/or
structural neuroimaging and a strong interest in applying advanced
methodologies to investigate brain development. Previous experience with
MATLAB is highly desirable.
The scholar will be funded through the University of Calgary Eyes High
post-doctoral scholars program
(http://www.ucalgary.ca/risingstars/postdoc) which includes a
competitive stipend and benefits. This program targets high caliber
applicants with the potential to make a difference in their field of
research, and places a strong emphasis on mentoring and professional
development. The University of Calgary is located in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada, a vibrant city of 1 million people located just a short drive
from Canada's Rocky Mountains.
Pre-application inquiries should be directed to Dr. Signe Bray
