POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HUMAN BRAIN PLASTICITY, BECKMAN INSTITUTE,
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
Applications are invited for a multi-year position in human brain plasticity
at the University of Illinois. The successful applicant will have the
opportunity to play an important role in the interdisciplinary study of
human brain and cognitive plasticity in several funded research projects
including cognitive training in a complex video-game like environments and
fitness training.
Essential skills include a thorough knowledge of fMRI and structural MRI
techniques, good organizational abilities, as well as the ability to work
well in teams. While this position requires technical sophistication it is
more suited for someone who is scientifically interested in neuroplasticity
and the relation to cognition, than someone with a strict methods
orientation. The successful applicant will hold a PhD; however applications
are also welcomed from current PhD students who will have submitted their
dissertations by June 1, 2008.
Salary will be in the range $43,000 to $50,000, depending on knowledge and
experience, and will come with health and other benefits at the University
of Illinois.
Please send applications (via e-mail) including cover letter, CV, the names
and addresses of three referees, in one pdf file, to the Principal
Investigator, Dr Art Kramer ([log in to unmask]). You are also welcome to
