> FULL-TIME NEUROIMAGING RESEARCH POSITION FOR PHYSICIANS
> SECTION ON INTEGRATIVE NEUROIMAGING
> NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH, NIH, INTRAMURAL RESEARCH PROGRAM,
> DHHS, BETHESDA, MD
>
> The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a major research component
> of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Health
> and Human Services (DHHS), offers a full-time research position for a
> senior or junior physician 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/physician. The position is open to MD's trained in
> psychiatry, neurology, nuclear medicine, radiology or other relevant
> field. Senior physicians will be hired at the Staff Clinician level;
> junior MD's will be hired as Staff Fellows. The successful candidate will
> be part of a multidisciplinary team using neuroimaging to map genetic and
> neurochemical mechanisms associated with normal higher 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. In
> addition to collaborative work within the team, there is opportunity for
> outstanding candidates to develop their own projects within the Unit.
> 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, and AFNI) confers
> an advantage but is not absolutely required. Competitive stipends depend
> on level of experience. Letter of interest outlining experience and
> research goals, CV, and three recommendation letters to: Karen F. Berman,
> M.D.; NIH Building 10, Rm 4C101; 9000 Rockville Pike; Bethesda MD
> 20892-1365 USA. Phone: (301) 496-7603; FAX: (301) 496-7437.
