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 human neuroimaging research on normal brain organization and changes in network architecture among patients with neurodegenerative disease. Current imaging techniques include voxel-based morphometry and functional MRI, with an emphasis on intrinsic functional connectivity network mapping (also referred to as “resting-state” fMRI). The fellow will combine these techniques with diffusion tensor imaging and autonomic physiology recordings. The ideal candidate will have an interest in frontal systems, neuroanatomy, fMRI methods development, or a combination. The fellow will contribute to ongoing experiments and pursue self-directed projects within the lab’s area of investigation, with ample authorship opportunities. Strong computational skills, including script writing or programming, are required. Appropriate areas of doctoral training include but are not limited to neuroscience, bioengineering, applied mathematics, or computer science. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. Further information about the lab can be viewed at http://neurology.ucsf.edu/seeley/index.html. Please direct inquiries to Dr. Seeley by sending a letter of interest, CV, and at least 3 references to [log in to unmask]
