The John and Charlene Madison Cassidy Fellowship in Translational
Neuroscience
Two post-doctoral positions are available within the Laboratory for
Affective and Translational Neuroscience at McLean Hospital/Harvard
Medical School, directed by Diego A. Pizzagalli, Ph.D. The laboratory is
part of the Center for Depression, Anxiety and Stress Research (CDASR),
a new research center that embraces a multi-disciplinary approach to
improve our understanding of the psychological, environmental, and
neurobiological factors associated with depression, anxiety and related
disorders across the lifespan (
http://cdasr.mclean.harvard.edu/).
Currently ongoing studies in Dr. Pizzagalli's laboratory focus on reward
processing, stress responsivity, and executive functioning in a range of
populations including individuals with major depression, mood spectrum
disorders, as well as at-risk samples (e.g., offspring of parents with
MDD; individuals with past MDD). These studies employ a variety of
approaches, including high-density EEG, fMRI, PET, MRS, molecular
genetics, and assays of hormonal/inflammatory markers. Opportunities
will be available to pursue independent research and interdisciplinary
collaborations across Harvard Medical School. Depending on research
focus, candidates will have access to research-dedicated human (3 T, 4
T) and animal (9.4 T) MRI scanners, as well as 128-channel EEG systems.
Experience with EEG/ERP and/or fMRI techniques as well as clinical
training is preferred, but candidates with a strong background in only
one of these domains will also be considered. To apply, send a CV, three
letters of reference, and a letter describing your research interests to
David Crowley (djcrowley(a)mclean.harvard.edu
<mailto:djcrowley@mclean.harvard.edu>). Review of applications will
begin immediately.
