Overview:
The Betty Irene Moore School
of Nursing has made an innovative investment in
the development of neuroscience expertise and in
applying scientific tools to understand the brain
and behavioral predictors and mechanisms of
cognitive-affective processes and clinical
interventions. To this end, it has recruited a
noted neuroscientist, Dr. Philippe Goldin, who is
leading the Clinically Applied Affective
Neuroscience (CAAN) Laboratory. Our research in
CAAN investigates social, cognitive, affective,
neural and behavioral dimensions of
psychopathology and well-being in adults. We
investigate how these components are modified by a
variety of psychosocial interventions, including
cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness,
vipassana, compassion, and jhana meditation. To
understand the complexity of human functioning,
we use multidimensional assessments, including
functional neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG), genetics,
stress hormones, behavioral tasks, information
processing tasks, clinical and individual
difference measures. The laboratory studies
healthy participants as well as a variety of
patients with mood, anxiety, and chronic pain
disorders. The CAAN Laboratory is located in the
new Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing on the UC
Davis medical campus in Sacramento, CA. The
laboratory provides a stimulating and supportive
environment to develop multiple skills in clinical
science, experimental psychology, neuroimaging in
order to conduct cutting-edge innovative research
that makes an impact in the world.
Postdoctoral Position
Description:
The fellowship is designed to
provide training in the skills necessary to
conduct original research in cognitive
neuroscience, as well as to foster the development
of an independence research career. The training
environment is highly collaborative and
supportive, and applicants should be prepared to
work collaboratively both within the laboratory
and with the academic/clinical communities at
University of California Davis. The position also
encourages collaboration and training at the
national level, by providing opportunities to
attend workshops, conferences, seminars, etc.,
based on the particular interests of the fellow.
Required Qualifications:
Position
qualifications include a Ph.D. in neuroscience,
psychology, or a related field. The successful
applicant will have expertise in fMRI data
acquisition and analysis, strong skills in
statistical and experimental methods, and
experience conducting research in cognitive
neuroscience. Experience with neuroimaging
analysis programs (AFNI, FSL, SPM, or other
relevant programs), stimulus presentation
programs (E-prime, Presentation, Superlab,
Cogent/Psychtoolbox [MATLAB]), and statistical
analysis (MATLAB, R, SPSS) are also required.
Excellent scientific writing skills and a strong
publication record are highly desired.
Applicants should be able to work independently
and with minimal supervision, but should also
demonstrate interpersonal skills and an interest
in working collaboratively. Salary and benefits
are competitive. Candidates should submit a CV,
statement of goals, and three letters of
recommendation to Dr. Philippe Goldin (pgoldin@ucdavis.edu).â
