Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Neuroimaging of Learned Skills

The focus of the position will be to study neurodevelopmental adaptations for the acquisition of learned skills.  The project involves longitudinal neuroimaging of military working dogs, from puppyhood through adulthood, as they progress through a formal on-base training regimen. Several weeks of paid travel per year will be required to a research site in Texas.

This is a one-year position, expected to begin in spring or summer 2019, with possibility of renewal dependent upon adequate funding and satisfactory performance. The research will take place in the Evolutionary Neuroscience Laboratory directed by Dr. Hecht and located in the Peabody Museum on Harvard University’s Cambridge, Massachusetts campus, and on-site at the Lackland Air Force Base outside San Antonio. 

A doctoral degree is required for this position. Desired qualifications include research in neuroscience, neuroimaging, development, and/or animal behavior.  The project will require working with dogs and coordinating with an interdisciplinary research team that will include scientists, veterinarians, dog handlers and trainers, and military personnel.  This research is non-invasive.
