Post-Doctoral Position in Neuroimaging on the role of Reward and Inhibition on Appetite Regulation and Behavior
A full-time Post-Doctoral position is available to work with Drs. Walter Kaye, Amanda Bischoff-Grethe, and Martin Paulus, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego. The post-doctoral fellow will work on several NIMH-funded research projects to investigate how altered reward or inhibition contributes to disturbed appetite regulation and other behaviors in anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Applicants should have experience with fMRI such as data acquisition, processing, and analysis. Moreover, experience working with clinical populations, neuropsychological testing, or programming is desirable. The postdoctoral fellow will be encouraged to develop his or her own research projects that fit within the overall scope of the project. The position will entail immersion in MR image analysis using one or more software tools, including AFNI, FSL, SPM, FreeSurfer, and R. Imaging sessions will take place at UCSD’s Center for Functional MRI, which is equipped with two research-dedicated GE 3T short-bore scanners. Appointment length is up to 5 years and is based upon the NIH salary scale. The position is available immediately, or the summer of 2012, and applications will be accepted until the position is filled. To apply, please send a brief statement of research interest and goals, any selected reprints, CV, and names and addresses of three references.
