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
neuroimaging (including functional, structural, and diffusion tensor
imaging) along with 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 will
interact with faculty co-investigators on the project including Drs.
Randy Buckner and Jeremy Schmahmann. Fellows will also be encouraged to
initiate and carry-out their own relevant projects. Applicants should
have strong experience with functional imaging data analysis, preferably
using SPM, as well as programming and statistical analysis experience.
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. Start date
is flexible. Please submit CV (including 3 potential references) and
cover letter to Dr. Eve Valera at eve_valera(a)hms.harvard.edu. Eve M.
