美国Hartford医院神经心理学博士后职位

Post- Doc Fellow - Neuropsychology
Full Time, 40 hours, Days

The Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center (www.nrc-iol.org/) and the Neurosurgery Department at Hartford Hospital are seeking to fill a postdoctoral researcher position in the area of pre-surgical functional mapping. The fellow will join a clinical and research group conducting research with neuroimaging methods (MRI, DTI, fMRI) in both neurosurgery patients and healthy populations. The major area of specialization is open, but current research projects include developing new fMRI paradigms and imaging analysis methods for patients with tumors, vascular lesions and epilepsy to be used in conjuction with cutting edge neuro-navigation techniques. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Neuroscience, or related field, understanding of fMRI statistical methods and experimental design, and a history of promising research experience. The ideal candidate will come from a doctoral program that has provided basic fMRI data analysis skills, solid theoretical understanding of cognitive neuroscience, and working knowledge of Linux, Matlab (programming experience preferred), and similar systems to conduct fMRI analyses. 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 Olin Center's data collection and analysis resources (e.g., fMRI, sMRI, DTI, EEG, genotyping, and neuropsychological assessment). The fellowship will be open for three years.

The Olin NRC is an established clinical neuroscience center affiliated with Yale University with over 40 faculty, postdoctoral fellows 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 / Hartford Hospital, providing access to thousands of psychiatric patients each year treated in numerous clinical programs. The Dept. of Neurosurgery at Hartford hospital has had a long-standing history of developing cutting-edge techniques for complex brain lesions such as tumors, AVM?s and a developing epilepsy surgery program. We have developed a very strong working relationship with the Olin Center for functional brain mapping and research for pre-operative planning and post-operative testing. 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.
