>
> The National Institute of Mental Health, a major research component of the
> National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Health and Human
> Services (DHHS), offers a two to five year post-doctoral fellowship at one
> of the premier research sites in the U.S., the 300 acre Bethesda campus of
> the NIH, near Washington D.C. which houses state-of-the-art neuroimaging
> facilities (MRI, PET and MEG) dedicated to research. The strong scientific
> environment and outstanding equipment resources at NIH make this a unique
> opportunity for an outstanding scientist. The position is open to 1)
> recent Ph.D.'s in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neuroscience,
> neuropharmacology, computer science, or other applicable discipline or 2)
> M.D.'s with training in psychiatry, neurology, nuclear medicine, radiology
> or other relevant field. The successful candidate will join a
> multidisciplinary team using neuroimaging to study genetic and
> neurochemical mechanisms of normal cognitive function as well as
> dysfunction in neuropsychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia, those
> with genetic sources of cognitive dysfunction (e.g. Williams syndrome),
> and other conditions such as normal aging. Possible research areas include
> 1) neurofunctional substrate of higher cognitive function, particularly
> working memory and frontal lobe, 2) neurofunctional bases of
> neuropsychiatric illnesses, especially schizophrenia, 3) computational
> neuroscience (statistical and systems approaches), and 4) neurochemical
> underpinnings of higher cognitive function and dysfunction. Familiarity
> with computational and statistical methods for neuroimaging (e.g. Unix,
> C/C++, MatLab, SPM, AFNI) confers an advantage but is not absolutely
> required. Letter of interest, CV, and three recommendations to: Karen
> Berman, M.D.; NIH Building 10, Rm 4C101; 9000 Rockville Pike; Bethesda MD
