Fwd: Postdoctoral Position in Neuroimaging

A full-time, NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship position is available at Harvard Medical School (HMS) / Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) for studies examining the role of corticocerebellar pathophysiology in adult ADHD under the direction of Dr. Eve Valera. Studies will use neuroimaging (including functional, structural, and diffusion tensor imaging) along with behavioral testing to examine how corticocerebellar circuitry influences perceptual and motor timing abnormalities in ADHD adults. The fellow will be involved in all aspects of the projects including data collection, analysis, and manuscript writing, and will interact with faculty co-investigators on the project including Drs. Randy Buckner and Jeremy Schmahmann. Fellows will also be encouraged to initiate and carry-out their own relevant projects. Applicants should have strong experience with functional imaging data analysis, preferably using SPM, as well as programming and statistical analysis experience. Oral and written English communication skills are required. Work will take place at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center at MGH. The Center is a vibrant community of approximately 120 faculty members and over 100 postdoctoral research fellows and graduate students studying a range of neuroscientific topics. Position is for a minimum of 2 years. Start date is flexible. Please submit CV (including 3 potential references) and cover letter to Dr. Eve Valera at eve_valera(a)hms.harvard.edu. Eve M.
