Fwd: Opening for postdoctoral fellow in fMRI of cognitive control

The Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at Queens College (QC), City University of New York (CUNY), in conjunction with the Laboratory of Neuroimaging, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), has an opening for a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in functional neuroimaging to start immediately. The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with cognitive neuroscientists, psychologists, computer scientists, psychiatrists, and neuroimaging specialists on research aimed at elucidating the cognitive mechanisms associated with the processing and quantification of information in the brain, particularly as it pertains to cognitive control. The laboratories also have a separate line of research in attention and emotion processing in clinical (autism and neurologically impaired patients) and non-clinical populations. Interested applicants must hold a doctoral degree in cognitive neuroscience or a closely related field and should have substantial experience in neuroimaging methods, as well as data collection and analysis. Some background and/or advanced training in functional and effective connectivity, as well as network-based (e.g., graph theory-based, etc.) analyses is preferred. It is critical that the candidate has expertise and working knowledge of fMRI analysis software (preferably SPM, though FSL, AFNI, and others are also acceptable), along with familiarity with Matlab and E-Prime programming. Experience interpreting neuroimaging data, working knowledge of functional neuroanatomy, and a background in attention and cognitive control is also highly desirable. A minimum two-year commitment is required. The position is open now, and will remain open until filled. Interested applicants are encouraged to email a CV and a cover letter describing their research interests and neuroimaging experience to Dr. Jin Fan at jin.fan(a)qc.cuny.edu. Three reference letters should also be sent directly from the referee to Dr. Jin Fan via email.
