The Cognitive Aging Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at Georgetown University has an NIA-funded postdoctoral position in the cognitive neuroscience of aging. Research uses structural and functional MRI techniques and behavioral methods to investigate healthy aging with a focus on associative learning and decision-making. Neuroimaging facilities are available in the Center for Functional and Molecular Imaging in the Georgetown University Medical Center including a research-dedicated Siemens 3T Trio full-body scanner. Facilities for ERP and near infrared spectroscopy are also available.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. and have first-hand experience in design, implementation and analysis of MRI studies. Research experience in aging is preferred, but not essential. Applicants with neuroimaging experience who wish to strengthen their expertise in cognition and/or cognitive aging would offer an ideal fit. The position offers the opportunity to do neuroimaging and behavioral studies of associative learning, decision-making, and related topics, as well as to develop an independent research program complementary to our work. Salary is commensurate with experience. Initial appointment will be for 1 year with renewal possible for up to 3 years.
Please e-mail a letter of interest, CV, and the email addresses of 3 references to Dr. Darlene Howard. Questions may be directed to either Darlene Howard ([log in to unmask]) or James Howard ([log in to unmask]).
