Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pediatric Neuroimaging

University of Illinois at Chicago

A postdoctoral position is available at the Institute for Juvenile Research and the Center for Cognitive Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago, to study brain function and develop brain models of functional connectivity in children and adolescents within our research program and Neuroscience and Treatment Center in pediatric psychiatric disorders. The position involves working with Dr. Mani Pavuluri, M.D. Ph.D. and her neuroimaging team on conducting fMRI studies and developing new neuroimaging methods to examine functional connectivity in relation to DTI, and genetics with regard to affect, cognition and sensori-motor processes in pediatric populations.

We seek PhD candidates who have a strong background in fMRI and neuroscience. Experience with fMRI studies, and familiarity with AFNI, SPM, or FSL software are required. Excellent programming and statistical skills related to neuroimaging research, and a record of scientific publications are also required.

The Center for Cognitive Medicine (http://ccm.psych.uic.edu), located within the UIC medical campus, is a state-of-the-art multidisciplinary clinical and academic center that focuses on investigating the neural bases of cognitive, affective and motor deficits, as well as behavioral pharmacology of various clinical disorders including pediatric bipolar disorder, mood disorders, ADHD, autism, schizophrenia and head injury populations. Our research program is a strong federally funded program with outstanding research opportunities and with direct access to pediatric psychiatric patients through our pediatric mood disorder clinics. We offer a competitive hiring package based on experience, with opportunities for career development beyond the post-doctoral appointment. The Center for Cognitive Medicine and the Institute for Juvenile Research are part of the UIC Medical School and are in close proximity to the MR Center, which houses two 1.5T clinical scanners, one research-devoted 3T scanner, as well as a new whole body 9.4T scanner for human brain imaging.//

Interested candidates must contact Dr. M. Pavuluri or Dr. A. Passarotti via email: mpavuluri@psych.uic.edu mailto:mpavuluri@psych.uic.edu, apassarotti@psych.uic.edu. //
