*_Post-doctoral position to study the neural effects of cognitive
behavioral therapy in obsessive-compulsive disorder with fMRI_*
**
*Project title: Neurocircuit mechanisms of OCD across the lifespan*
A post-doctoral position is available in an NIMH-funded study employing
functional magnetic resonance imaging to study brain regions previously
implicated in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The study will
compare OCD in adolescents near illness onset with adult patients who
have suffered OCD over many years and test how cognitive behavioral
therapy modulates these networks in adolescents compared to adults. The
expected impact of this project is an improved understanding of brain
networks relevant for OCD, enabling therapy sensitive to illness stage
and appropriate targeting of networks by brain stimulation and/or
cognitive training techniques. The ideal candidate will possess a
degree in clinical psychology and have already attained experience in
fMRI. The position provides the opportunity to join a very active group
pursuing mechanistic and translational research in psychiatric disorders
(OCD, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, depression) in adult and pediatric
populations. We employ a variety of brain mapping modalities (fMRI,
MRS, DTI, ERP), brain stimulation paradigms (TMS, tDCS, DBS) and
behavioral interventions (CBT, cognitive training). If interested,
please contact: Stephan Taylor, M.D. or Kate Fitzgerald, M.D.,
