Postdoctoral Fellowship Opening in Functional Neuroimaging, Development and ADHD We are recruiting for a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in functional brain imaging in the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) group at the University of California, Davis MIND Institute. The MIND Institute is located on the medical school campus in Sacramento, CA. The position is available starting December 1, 2014. The focus of the ADHD program is to improve the lives of children, teens and adults who experience severe problems in attention, self-control or learning. While much of our work is in ADHD, we also study typical brain development, autism, fragile X, substance use disorders and general functioning in relationship to reward sensitivity. This position is based at UC Davis, however, it is jointly supervised by Dr. Samuel McClure, from the Decision Neuroscience Laboratory, at Stanford University along with Drs. Catherine Fassbender and Julie Schweitzer at UC Davis. The successful candidate will work on existing and new studies investigating the behavioral and neural correlates of cognitive and reward processing, including the developmental trajectories of these constructs in children, adolescents and adults with ADHD compared to typically developing individuals. In our laboratory we are also interested in the functional outcomes in individuals with ADHD (i.e. educational and/or occupational success). The laboratory draws on multiple methods of inquiry including clinical interviews, fMRI, psychophysiological measures, questionnaires and behavior. The position entails the collection and analysis of fMRI. physiological and behavioral data, preparing the data for publication and presentation at research conferences as well as writing grants and research papers. Additional opportunities such as acquiring and analyzing electrophysiological data are also available but not necessary for the position. Other duties will include gathering questionnaire data and supervising research assistants and graduate and undergraduate students. Qualifications for this position include a Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, or a related field; experience with fMRI acquisition and analysis; competent experimental and statistical skills; good interpersonal skills, the ability to work well in a team and to interact with and train other research personnel and the ability to creatively problem solve and trouble shoot technical issues. Experience with neuroimaging software programs (AFNI, FSL, MATLAB, SPM, or other relevant programs), programming tasks (E-prime, Presentation), and statistical analysis (SPM, SAS) is highly desired. Computer programming skills are also desired but not required for the position. Please address questions or send a letter of research interests, a CV and contact information for three references to Dr. Julie Schweitzer at Julie.schweitzer(a)ucdmc.ucdavis.edu.
