The UCSF Memory and Aging Center (MAC), in the Department of Neurology, is looking for a candidate interested in post-doctoral fellowship training in cognitive neuroscience, specifically studying self-awareness in neurodegenerative disease with an emphasis on psychophysiological recording. Appropriate candidates would include individuals completing a PhD in clinical psychology, neuropsychology or cognitive neuroscience that focused on emotions research, psychophysiology and/or dementia, or MDs with similar skills and interests. The work would focus primarily on analysis of psychophysiological data (including, but not limited to skin conductance, heart rate, facial expression) and structural brain imaging. The MAC is a large, multidisciplinary group that provides clinical services and has an extensive research program on aging and neurodegenerative disease, and is a world leader in research on frontotemporal dementia. MAC investigators direct many projects looking at the clinical, imaging, genetic and pathological features of aging and typical and atypical neurodegenerative syndromes. The context for this fellowship would be a study of self-awareness in frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease, but the fellowship would also give broad exposure to imaging in a variety of other clinical contexts including Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration and other disorders. Interested candidates should contact Howard Rosen ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and Jessica Zakrzewski ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) for more information.
