The Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at Queens College (QC), City
University of New York (CUNY), in conjunction with the Laboratory of
Neuroimaging, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), has an
opening for a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in functional
neuroimaging to start immediately. The postdoctoral fellow will work
closely with cognitive neuroscientists, psychologists, computer
scientists, psychiatrists, and neuroimaging specialists on research
aimed at elucidating the cognitive mechanisms associated with the
processing and quantification of information in the brain, particularly
as it pertains to cognitive control. The laboratories also have a
separate line of research in attention and emotion processing in
clinical (autism and neurologically impaired patients) and non-clinical
populations. 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 and effective connectivity, as well as network-based (e.g.,
graph theory-based, etc.) analyses is preferred. It is critical that the
candidate has expertise and working knowledge of fMRI analysis software
(preferably SPM, though FSL, AFNI, and others are also acceptable),
along with familiarity with Matlab and E-Prime programming. Experience
interpreting neuroimaging data, working knowledge of functional
neuroanatomy, and a background in attention and cognitive control is
also highly desirable. A minimum two-year commitment is required. The
position is open now, and will remain open until filled. Interested
applicants are encouraged to email a CV and a cover letter describing
their research interests and neuroimaging experience to Dr. Jin Fan at
jin.fan(a)qc.cuny.edu. Three reference letters should also be sent
directly from the referee to Dr. Jin Fan via email.
