Postdoctoral
Fellowship at Duke-National University of Singapore
Multimodal Neuroimaging in Neuropsychiatric Disorders Laboratory, Center for
Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, National University
of Singapore (NUS) is looking for postdoctoral fellow in cognitive neuroscience
and/or multimodal neuroimaging in neuropsychiatric disorders.
Our group studies the human neural bases of cognition functions and the associated vulnerability patterns in ageing, neurodegenerative diseases (focusing on Alzheimer’s disease, vascular, FTD and preclinical stages) and schizophrenia. Multimodal neuroimaging and psychophysical techniques are employed, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI (both task-free connectivity and task-based), diffusion tensor imaging, and electroencephalography (EEG). Molecular imaging methods such as amyloid PET will be used. Special emphasis will be placed on longitudinal analysis and intervention studies in neuropsychiatric disorders. We are interested in developing computational methods to examine the network-level structural and functional brain connectivity in disease and after intervention to shed light on the neurobiological mechanism of disease, paving the way for early detection and disease monitoring.
Candidates must have a passionate enthusiasm for research, a strong background in
at least one of the following fields: computational neuroscience, cognitive
neuroscience, neuropsychiatric disorders, neuroimaging analyses,
mathematics/statistics/machine learning or related-fields. He/she should also
possess the ability to take the initiative, work independently and be motivated
to work in a highly collaborative and international research environment, and
be able to demonstrate creativity, technical independence and excellent
communication skills. Strong interest in studying dynamic functional
connectivity and multimodal neuroimaging in disease would be a plus. Proven
skills in fMRI/EEG/DTI/PET data analyses is a plus but not necessary.
Key attractions are access to a 3T Prisma MR scanner and a MR compatible
digital EEG system as well as collaboration opportunities with an excellent
network of domestic and international scientists and doctors. The position will
be two years with possible extension. Competitive package will be provided
based on experience.
Please submit the application letter, curriculum vitae, three references, and
contact information to Dr. Juan (Helen) Zhou at [log in to unmask].
