POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN COGNITIVE PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY: COGNITIVE
NEUROSCIENCE OF NORMAL AND ABNORMAL COGNITIVE AND EMOTIONAL FUNCTION
Department of Psychology and Beckman Institute
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The NIMH-funded Cognitive Psychophysiology Training program at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has postdoctoral fellowship
openings for recent PhDs, MDs, and MD/PhDs. The core faculty of the training
program pursue a variety of research programs addressing normal and abnormal
cognitive and emotional function and associated brain mechanisms addressing
a broad range of NIMH priorities in mental health and mental illness.
Post-doctoral fellows can work with one or more of the core faculty, who
study topics spanning depression, anxiety, memory, attention, executive
function, emotion, language, cognitive aging, cognitive disability,
aggression, and externalizing disorders. Core faculty are based in the
Departments of Psychology, Psychiatry, Bioengineering, Electrical
Engineering, and Statistics, with appointments in the campus Neuroscience
Program (www.neuroscience.illinois.edu) and the multidisciplinary Beckman
Institute (www.beckman.illinois.edu), which includes the research-dedicated
Biomedical Imaging Center (bic.beckman.illinois.edu). The training grant is
administered through the Dept. of Psychology (www.psych.illinois.edu).
We employ diverse psychophysiological methods, including fMRI, dense-array
EEG, optical imaging, and eye-tracking as well as autonomic measures. Our
research emphasizes integration of measures to achieve multimodal imaging to
study substantive areas involving normal and abnormal cognition and emotion.
We seek applications from ethnically diverse scientists who have strong
academic credentials and US citizenship or permanent residence. We are
accepting applications on an ongoing basis.
Per NIH rules for such trainees, "The individual to be trained must be a
citizen or a noncitizen national of the United States or have been lawfully
admitted for permanent residence by the time of award. Individuals who have
been lawfully admitted for permanent residence must have a currently valid
Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-551) or other legal verification of such
status."
Potential applicants are welcome to contact any of the core faculty members:
Diane Beck, Neal Cohen, Florin Dolcos, Monica Fabiani, Kara Federmeier,
Susan Garnsey, Brian Gonsalves, Gabriele Gratton, Wendy Heller, Arthur
Kramer, Zhi-Pei Liang, Gregory A. Miller, Bradley Sutton, Edelyn Verona, and
Michelle Wang. Research interests and contact information are available at
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/gamiller/shared/CPTGbrochureDec2009.pdf
Please send applications (via e-mail) consisting of a single pdf file,
including cover letter, CV, and names and addresses of three referees, to
Program Director Gregory A. Miller ([log in to unmask]).
