The Stanford Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience Laboratory
(
http://cosyne.stanford.edu) invites applications for a postdoctoral
fellowship in developmental cognitive neuroscience and learning
disabilities research. The lab provides a unique multidisciplinary and
collaborative environment for conducting research on brain and cognitive
development. The fellow will participate in ongoing studies of cognitive
training and brain plasticity in children, with a focus on numerical
cognition, reasoning and problem solving in typically developing
children and in children with learning disabilities. The fellow will be
expected to develop a vigorous research program that contributes to, and
complements, ongoing research studies. The fellow will have access to
state-of-the-art brain imaging, computational and cognitive testing
facilities, and training in advanced computational techniques for MRI,
fMRI, and DTI analysis will be provided. Candidates are expected to have
a strong research background in relevant areas of cognitive neuroscience
and psychology, as well as excellent writing, communication and
inter-personal skills. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in psychology,
neuroscience, cognitive science or a closely related discipline.
Please email a CV, statement of research interests and relevant
background, and request three letters to be emailed in confidence to Ms.
Suzanna Chan at suzannachan(a)stanford.edu.
