POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN NEUROBIOLOGY OF LANGUAGE
We are seeking a postdoctoral PhD or MD/PhD researcher for an
immediate opening for a NIH-funded position in the Department of
Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania. The successful candidate
will be interested in hypothesis-driven investigations of the
neurobiology of language. We perform fMRI studies of healthy adults,
investigating lexical, sentence and discourse levels of processing.
We obtain converging data with structural imaging, using the same
language materials in patients with focal neurodegenerative diseases
such as semantic dementia, progressive nonfluent aphasia, corticobasal
syndrome, Lewy body disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and
behavioral variant frontotemporal degeneration. Biofluid and
histopathologic markers of neurodegenerative disease are available for
linking with cognitive and imaging results. Previous experience with
neuroimaging and computer programming is strongly preferred. The
University of Pennsylvania is an equal opportunity employer.
Please forward a CV, a cover letter describing your interests, and
contact information for three references to:
