A full-time, NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship position is available at Harvard Medical School (HMS) / Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) for studies examining the role of corticocerebellar pathophysiology in adult ADHD under the direction of Dr. Eve Valera. Studies will use functional neuroimaging and behavioral testing to examine how corticocerebellar circuitry influences perceptual and motor timing abnormalities in ADHD adults. The fellow will be involved in all aspects of the projects including data collection, analysis, and manuscript writing, and interact with faculty co-investigators on the project including Drs. Randy Buckner and Jeremy Schmahmann. Applicants should have experience with imaging data analysis preferably using SPM. Programming experience is highly desirable. Good oral and written English communication skills are required. Work will take place at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center at MGH. The Center is a vibrant community of approximately 120 faculty members and over 100 postdoctoral research fellows and graduate students studying a range of neuroscientific topics.
Position is for a minimum of 2 years with the possibility of additional years, and is available immediately. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. Interested applicants should direct all inquiries and/or send CVs to Dr. Eve Valera at eve_valera@hms.harvard.edu.
