Postdoctoral Research Scientist
UCSF—University of California,
San Francisco
Description
The Brain Imaging and EEG Lab
(BIEEGL) stands at the forefront of clinical neuroscience, focused on
understanding the neural mechanisms responsible for the devastating symptoms of
schizophrenia and psychosis. Our major research tools are
electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI). These complementary tools allow assessment of brain function with
millisecond resolution in the time domain, and millimeter resolution in the
spatial/anatomical domain.
BIEEGL is looking for talented
post-doctoral neuroscientists interested in pursuing innovative brain science
to answer some of most perplexing questions about psychosis. Postdoctoral
fellows will have unique opportunities to work in close collaboration with our
team of neuroscientists, psychologists and psychiatrists. If you are
looking for a postdoctoral position that immerses you in 21st century
neuroscience, we want to hear from you!
This is an excellent position for
someone looking to integrate their skillset into a large research group of
clinical neuroscientists, with the expectation of undertaking data analysis and
assisting in preparation of manuscripts/grant applications for a multiple-PI
laboratory. (Note, co-authorships are expected to result from the
postdoctoral fellow's collaboration with PIs. However, the core function
of this position will be data analysis and technical support, rather than
project lead; therefore, this position is not ideal if the primary career goal
is to develop an independent line of research/prepare for the academic faculty
market.)
The ideal candidate will have:
•
Matlab programming and data
analysis expertise
•
Experience with human brain imaging
(EEG and fMRI) including analysis on both individual subject and group levels
•
Experience applying QA programs
to ensure high quality data
•
Strong quantitative and
analytical skills
•
Creative problem solving skills
•
Excellent verbal and written
communication skills
•
Interest in manuscript/grant
preparation (emphasis on contributing to methods/results sections and figures)
•
A desire to work with an
amicable, energetic, interdisciplinary team
•
PhD in Neuroscience or in a
related field
