We are seeking applications for a two-year NIMH-supported postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh under the direction of Alex Dombrovski, M.D., and Michael Hallquist, Ph.D. The research fellow will work on NIMH-funded projects of decision-making in late-life suicide and borderline personality disorder.

An ideal candidate will be familiar with functional neuroimaging and/or reinforcement learning models of behavior. Experience with MATLAB, R, FSL, AFNI, and Linux shell scripting is desirable. The position will be available in the second half of 2015 and funding for a third year of postdoctoral training may be available depending on performance.
