FYI ----------------------------

The UCSF Memory and Aging Center (MAC), in the Department of Neurology, is looking for a candidate interested in post-doctoral fellowship training in cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging, specifically studying eye movement control in normal aging and neurodegenerative disease with an emphasis on relating specific oculomotor parameters to brain structure and function. Appropriate candidates would include individuals completing a PhD in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience or neuroimaging that focused on vision or motor research, psychophysiology and/or dementia; or MDs with similar skills and interests. The work would focus primarily on analysis of oculomotor data in conjunction with structural and functional brain imaging (event-related and resting state fMRI) data using standard and graph theory based methods.

The MAC is a large, multidisciplinary group that provides clinical services and has an extensive research program on aging and neurodegenerative disease. MAC investigators direct many projects looking at the clinical, imaging, genetic and pathological features of aging, typical and atypical neurodegenerative syndromes. The context for this fellowship would be a studies of longitudinal oculomotor function in aging and MCI, or progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration, but the fellowship would also give broad exposure to imaging in a variety of other clinical contexts including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia and other disorders.

1-2 years of salary support are initially available. Interested candidates should contact Adam Boxer (aboxer@memory.ucsf.edu) or Hilary Heuer (hheuer@memory.ucsf.edu) for more information.
