Greetings,
The Connect Lab – Brain Connectivity and Aging, in the Department of Psychology and Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University is inviting applications for a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship in neuroimaging, specifically functional and structural MRI. The main focus of the Connect Lab, directed by Dr. Jessica Damoiseaux, is to examine changes in functional and structural brain connectivity and changes in cognitive function in normal and abnormal aging. Individuals with an interest in: resting state fMRI, diffusion MRI, healthy aging, and/or early detection of neurodegenerative disease, are particularly encouraged to apply.
The successful applicant will have completed a Ph.D. in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or a related field and have demonstrated early-career expertise in MRI research, preferably with a focus on resting state fMRI and/or diffusion MRI. The applicant should have strong skills in statistical data analysis and have experience with MRI data analysis software. While experience with aging and/or Alzheimer’s disease research is not required, the applicant should have a strong interest in applications of neuroimaging to the study of aging and Alzheimer’s disease. The applicant should have excellent writing skills and an early publication record as first author. The successful applicant will be able to function both independently and as part of a highly collaborative team.
The position is available immediately, but start date is negotiable.
Interested individuals can send their CV, contact information for three references, and a cover letter describing their research interests and goals to: Dr. Jessica Damoiseaux ([log in to unmask]).
