FYI
--------------------
The Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Queens College (QC), City University
of New York (CUNY), in conjunction with the Laboratory of Neuroimaging,
Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM), will have an opening for a
postdoctoral fellow with expertise in neuroimaging.
The position will remain open until filled, ideally by the Fall of 2012.
The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with cognitive
neuroscientists, psychologists, computer scientists, psychiatrists, and
various neuroimaging specialists on research aimed at elucidating the
cognitive mechanisms associated with the processing and quantification
of information in the brain, especially as it pertains to cognitive control.
The laboratories also have a separate line of research in attention and
emotion processing in clinical (anxiety, autism, and neurologically
impaired patients) and non-clinical populations. Dr. Jin Fan, Assistant
Professor of Psychology at QC, CUNY and Assistant Professor of
Psychiatry and Neuroscience at MSSM will serve as the primary mentor,
although interactions with other QC and MSSM affiliated faculty is a
certainty. The fellow will also have numerous interactions with Dr.
Fan's colleagues at institutions locally (e.g., New York University,
Columbia University, Albert Einstein College of Medicine), nationally,
and internationally. Thus, the fellow will be part of a rich and
stimulating, collaborative environment.
Interested applicants must hold a doctoral degree in cognitive
neuroscience, or a closely related field, and should have substantial
experience in neuroimaging (methods, as well as data collection and
analysis). Some background and/or advanced training in functional
connectivity, graph theory-based, granger causality, and/or effective
connectivity, as well as network-based (e.g., small world, etc.)
analyses is preferred. It is critical that the candidate have expertise
and working knowledge of fMRI analysis software (preferably SPM, though
FSL, AFNI, and others are also acceptable), along with familiarity of
Matlab and E-Prime programming. Experience interpreting neuroimaging
data, working knowledge of functional neuroanatomy, and background in
attention, cognitive control, and/or neuroeconomics is highly desirable.
A minimum two-year commitment is required.
