*_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., University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry, Rachel Upjohn Building, Ann Arbor MI 48109 sftaylor@umich.edu mailto:sftaylor@umich.edu; krd@umich.edu mailto:krd@umich.eduThe University of Michigan is an equal opportunity provider.
