Postdoctoral Positions in the Laboratory of Molecular Neuroimaging, UCLA
The Laboratory of Molecular Neuroimaging (LMN) at the Semel Institute for
Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA is now accepting applications for
qualified and motivated postdoctoral fellows to conduct mentored research
in human neuroimaging of addiction and self-control. LMN has a vibrant
research program focusing on stimulant and nicotine use disorders,
applying multimodal imaging in studies that use molecular (e.g.,
dopamine receptor mapping using PET),
functional (BOLD fMRI, perfusion MRI), and structural measures (sMRI,
DTI).
Postdoctoral fellows, based in LMN, will have the opportunity to
interact with a well-established group of investigators within the
laboratory and to participate in the UCLA T32 Training Program in the
Translational Neuroscience of Drug Abuse. UCLA provides a rich academic
experience through its Integrative Center for Addictions program, which
hosts renowned addiction specialists from various national institutions.
LMN is especially interested in trainees with experience in brain imaging
(MRI or PET).
INTERESTED APPLICANTS SHOULD MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:
1) interest in addiction research
2) technical experience in brain imaging (MRI or PET) data acquisition and
analysis. Experience in both univariate and multivariate statistical
analyses is preferred.
3) doctoral degree (MD or PhD in cognitive or affective neuroscience,
cognitive science, experimental psychology, or related discipline)
Salary will be commensurate with training level. UCLA is an
equal-opportunity employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
Earliest start date is July 1, 2016.
