<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">We are seeking applicants interested in negative symptoms and motivational deficits in schizophrenia. This work is supported by a 5 year RO1 that involves an extensive
collaboration with Michael Frank, a computational neuroscientist at Brown University, James</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">
</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">Waltz, who does related work using fMRI at MPRC, and Steve Silverstein at Rutgers.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">
</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">The basic approach of the project is to use experimental paradigms</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">
</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">and computational modeling</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">
</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">frameworks from the basic neuroscience literature in order to specify the processes that result in alterations of volition and decision-making</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">
</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">The grant involves both behavioral and electrophysiological methods, thus prior EEG and signal processing experience would be ideal as are good statistical skills. Applications from candidates without prior EEG experience
who have strengths in other areas that could be brought to bear in this area of work are also welcome. There will be ample opportunities to take the lead on writing papers as many unpublished data sets available as well as the ability to rapidly implement
new experiments with great access to patients who are willing to participate in research.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">
</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">Funding is available for two years, with possible extension.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">
</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">Start date is open as funds are currently available.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">
</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">The lab has a strong track record of helping post-docs go on to achieve independent funding.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; ">
