[FieldTrip] Postdoctoral Scholar positions in neuroimaging

[Roeland Hancock]

NIDL and brainLENS-east labs (Neurobiology of Individual Differences in
Language Lab http://nidl-lab.org, PI: Roeland Hancock PhD; and Laboratory
for Learning Engineering and Neural Systems http://brainlens.org, PI:
Fumiko Hoeft MD PhD) at University of Connecticut’s Brain Imaging Research
Center (UCONN’s BIRC) are seeking: (1) two full-time neuroimaging
postdoctoral fellows, and (2) two full-time Research Coordinators. BIRC is
also seeking one full-time IT staff.





*TWO NEUROIMAGING POSTDOC POSITIONS @ UCONN*



We are seeking two postdoctoral scholars. The postdocs will manage and
execute a large-scale neuroimaging project investigating the
neurobiological mechanisms underlying: (1) language, literacy and cognition
in generally healthy young adults using multimodal neuroimaging techniques
such as MRI, MRS and TMS (“Perturbation Postdoc”); or (2) intergenerational
transmission of language and literacy in parent-offspring dyads using MRI
techniques (“Intergenerational Postdoc”). In addition, the successful
candidates will have the opportunity to be involved in other federally and
non-federally funded-research projects in the laboratories, gain experience
in grant and manuscript writing and large-scale project management,
outreach and community engagement projects, and access to a wealth of
archival developmental and longitudinal neuroimaging data on language and
literacy.



*Required qualifications:*

·       PhD or equivalent in cognitive and systems neurosciences, computer
science, engineering, psychology or a closely related field

·       Computational skills, including knowledge of at least one
programming language and Unix commands

·       Strong written and verbal communication skills

·       Leadership and organizational skills



*Preferred qualifications:*

·       Exceptional skills in collecting and analyzing MRI, MRS, and/or TMS
data

·       Experience in M/EEG

·       Documented history of productivity and leadership

·       Advanced knowledge and expertise in statistics, e.g. multivariate
statistics, behavioral genetics, Bayesian and Monte Carlo methods



The position will be formally advertised at a later date. In the meantime,
interested candidates should email *info at nidl-lab.org <info at nidl-lab.org>*
with *"[Postdoc Job (YOUR FULL NAME)]" in the subject line*. In the email
they should include (a) a current CV, (b) a one-page cover letter
describing qualifications, interest, career goals and which postdoc position
they are interested in (refer to as *“Perturbation Postdoc/Project” *or
*“Intergenerational Postdoc/Project”)*, and (c) a list of 3 potential
referees with their contact information. The position can begin immediately.

*Postdoctoral scholars from the lab have gone onto a range of research
faculty and imaging director positions at institutions such as Stanford,
Caltech, Boston College, and University of Texas.*


*The University of Connecticut is committed to building and supporting a
multicultural and diverse community of students, faculty and staff. The
diversity of students, faculty and staff continues to increase, as does the
number of honor students, valedictorians and salutatorians who consistently
make UConn their top choice. More than 100 research centers and instates
serve the University’s teaching, research, diversity, and outreach
missions, leading to UConn’s ranking as one of the nation’s top research
universities. UConn’s faculty and staff are the critical link to fostering
and expanding our vibrant, multicultural and diverse University community.
As an Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity employer, UConn
encourages applications from women, veterans, people with disabilities and
members of traditionally underrepresented populations.*
