*Postdoctoral Research Associate Position * The Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center is seeking to fill a postdoctoral researcher/fellow position in the area of autism/cognitive neuroscience focusing on imaging data analysis. The fellow will join a lab conducting research using advanced neuroimaging methods (MRI, DTI, fMRI) in both healthy and psychiatric populations. The major focus will be developing and applying statistical analysis methods such as ICA and dynamic Functional Connectivity to neuroimaging data collected in an NIMH funded study, which examines brain function related to social cognition and emotion regulation in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Neuroscience, or related field. They should have an understanding of fMRI statistical methods and experimental design, and promising research experience. The ideal candidate will come from a doctoral program that has provided fMRI data analysis skills, solid theoretical understanding of cognitive neuroscience and psychology/psychiatry, and working knowledge of Linux, Matlab (programming experience preferred), and similar systems to conduct fMRI analyses, or to have an existing track record with fMRI analysis. In addition to opportunities to develop their own program of research compatible with the lab mission, the postdoctoral fellow will have access to several large archival neuroimaging datasets, training in sophisticated data analysis techniques (i.e., independent component analysis, multi-modal analysis, etc.), and access to the center’s data collection and analysis resources (e.g., fMRI, sMRI, DTI, EEG, genotyping, neuropsychological assessment). The fellowship is open for an initial two years, with an option to renew. The Olin Center is an established clinical neuroscience center at the Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital and is affiliated with Yale University with over 40 faculty, postdocs and research assistants. Our mission is to conduct cutting-edge clinical and cognitive neuroscience research that can ultimately translate to psychiatric care. The Olin Center is located on the grounds of the Institute of Living, providing access to thousands of psychiatric patients each year treated in numerous clinical programs. This is an exciting opportunity for a clinical or cognitive neuroscience postdoc looking to establish him/herself in the field through productivity, training in advanced analysis techniques, and access to ample scientific resources. If interested, please send a statement of scientific interests, accomplishments and relevant skills, a CV, and contact information for at least 3 academic references to Dr. Michal Assaf, Autism & Functional Mapping lab director, at michal.as...@hhchealth.org
