Postdoctoral fellow in functional neuroimaging. Join a premier
neurodegeneration research group at the UCSF Memory & Aging Center. This
multidisciplinary unit seeks to characterize neurodegenerative diseases with
state-of-the-art structural and functional imaging tools. The fellow will
work with Dr. William Seeley, who conducts research on selective neuronal,
regional, and network-level vulnerability in neurodegenerative disease, with
a focus on frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Current imaging
techniques employed by the lab include voxel-based morphometry and
functional MRI, with an emphasis on intrinsic functional connectivity
network mapping (also referred to as “resting-state” fMRI). Plans to couple
these techniques with diffusion tensor imaging are underway. The ideal
candidate will have an interest in frontal systems, neuroanatomy, fMRI
methods development, or a combination. The fellow will contribute to
ongoing experiments, assist with methods development, and pursue
self-directed projects within the lab’s area of investigation, with ample
authorship opportunities. The lab also conducts human neuropathological
research, providing a unique environment for a neuroimaging trainee. Please
direct inquiries to Dr. Seeley by sending a letter of interest, CV, and at
least 3 references to [log in to unmask]
