*Postdoctoral Fellow Opening - Translational Neuroimaging Researcher
*
The Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA is
recruiting for a postdoctoral research position in Los Angeles, CA. The
candidate will participate in a neuroimaging interventional study on the
effects of exercise on neural circuitry in Parkinsons Disease. The
candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in neuroscience, psychology,
biomedical engineering or related fields. Alternatively, we will
consider M.D. candidates having completed residency training in
Neurology or Psychiatry or prior to residency training, with a
demonstrated interest and track record in neuroimaging research.
Candidates should have an interest in the basic mechanisms of disease
pathogenesis and interventional studies. This position does not have
patient care responsibilities.
Experience with fMRI data collection and analysis is required. The
candidate should have a solid background in the principles of MRI and
fMRI and have had experience in clinical and translational MRI research
and development. They will also have analytical skills in the
programming language needed for fMRI task design (i.e. Matlab,
Presentation) and experience with fMRI analyses software (i.e. FSL). The
Fellow will be supervised by Dr. Sarah McEwen (UCLA) and Dr. Petzinger
(Department of Neurology, USC) and will be responsible for MRI data
acquisition, processing, and analysis, and will contribute to the
preparation of manuscripts.
This Fellowship offers an outstanding training environment, in which the
successful candidate will be contributing to ground-breaking
translational research in the field of Parkinsons Disease. The
position can begin in January 2015. A 2 year commitment is requested.
Interested applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a statement of
research interests, and three letters of recommendation to Dr. Sarah
McEwen (smcewen(a)mednet.ucla.edu <mailto:smcewen@mednet.ucla.edu>).
