McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School
A postdoctoral position is available in the Behavioral Neuroimaging Laboratory at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School (HMS). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team on multimodal neuroimaging (fMRI, MRS, DWI, etc.) projects involving integrated behavior/imaging conducted on 3T and 9.4T MR platforms using animal models of psychiatric disorders.
Several preclinical research projects are currently underway:
1) examining the role of drug history in behavioral and neural responses to monoaminergic drugs
2) identifying neural signatures associated with the behavioral effects of abused drugs from various pharmacological classes
3) evaluating the pharmacological and neural correlates of social behavior
4) longitudinal analyses of the effects of adolescent THC exposure on various brain and cognitive endpoints
5) characterizing functional and anatomical circuits related to feeding behavior
Requirements:
• The ideal candidate will be a recent Ph.D. with experience conducting neuroimaging research (animal or human) and with a relevant background, e.g., Neuroscience, Psychology, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Candidates should have experience and interest in programming (Matlab, Python, etc.), MR data processing, and complex data analysis.
• Candidates with a successful publication history will be given priority.
The selected candidate will be proposed for academic appointment as a Research Fellow in the Department of Psychiatry at HMS. The initial appointment will be for two years with the possibility of extension pending satisfactory performance and research progress. Submission of career development and other grant funding applications during the appointment is encouraged and will be supported. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications, laboratory experience, and institutional guidelines. Qualified women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
