Stanford University Postdoctoral Fellowship in Translational Neuroscience
of Emotion Regulation
Dr. Amit Etkin’s laboratory in the Stanford University Department of
Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, is currently accepting applications
for a postdoctoral research fellowship to engage in translational
affective neuroscience work in the domains of cognitive neuroscience,
affective disorders and neural circuitry. This is an NIH-funded position,
and the successful candidate will be mentored by Dr. Etkin, and be in the
context of the Stanford Mood Disorders Center. Potential projects include
deepening our understanding of the mechanisms governing emotion
regulation, investigating dysfunction of emotion regulation and its
interaction with cognitive control in psychiatric disorders, and probing
and manipulating neural circuitry with transcranial magnetic stimulation
(TMS) and concurrent TMS/fMRI.
The successful applicant will have a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience,
Neurophysiology, Psychology, Computer Science or related fields.
Applicants should have experience conducting fMRI studies and conducting
data analysis (e.g. with SPM, FSL, AFNI, etc). Additional programming
experience is a plus. Duties will also include manuscript preparation,
presentation of findings at conferences, management of research assistants
and preparation of grants. Laboratory and Stanford resources include
research-dedicated 1.5T, 3T and 7T MRI scanners, an offline TMS setup and
concurrent TMS/fMRI. Additionally, the successful candidate will have an
opportunity to interact closely with other faculty, including Mike
Greicius (Neurology), and James Gross (Psychology). Salary commensurate
with experience. More information about our ongoing studies can be found
