*Postdoc Position in Neuroanatomical MRI of Impulsivity*
Applications are invited for a 1-year postdoc position, funded by the
Waterloo Foundation, in the lab of Andrew Lawrence, School of
Psychology, Cardiff University, UK.
The successful candidate will investigate neuroanatomical correlates of
individual differences in impulsivity in young adults, using
high-quality 3T MRI images from T1 and diffusion sequences that have
already been collected as part of an imaging genetics project. The
position is available from July 1st.
Candidates should have a PhD in cognitive or social neuroscience,
imaging neuroscience, or a closely related field. Experience with the
analysis of neuroanatomical images using e.g. Voxel-based morphometry or
cortical thickness analysis (Freesurfer) is essential. Salary will range
from a minimum of £30, 122 to a maximum of £35, 938 and will depend on
the experience of the candidate.
The post-holder will be based in the School of Psychology at Cardiff
