<p class="MsoNormal">Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Martinos Center
for Biomedical Imaging and the Psychiatric Neuroimaging Division of the
Psychiatry Department at Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown, MA</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Project: Multimodal neuroimaging studies of
sleep and memory</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PI: Dara S. Manoach, Ph.D.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The position will involve investigating the role
of sleep in memory consolidation, how these processes go awry in schizophrenia
and autism, and the efficacy of pharmacological and other interventions. Our work has linked cognitive deficits to
a specific heritable mechanism (sleep spindles) and we are seeking effective
interventions. In collaboration
with Dr. Robert Stickgold’s lab at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, we are
extending and expanding this basic and clinical research program using
state-of-the art tools including high density EEG (polysomnography), MEG, DTI, functional
connectivity MRI, fMRI, and behavioral studies. We are seeking someone to participate in these
foundation and NIMH-funded investigations who is familiar with MEG/EEG
methodology and data analysis, comfortable with methodological innovation, and is
interested in optimizing and developing analysis streams tailored to the study
aims and populations. New approaches and
ideas are encouraged, as are independent projects that dovetail with current
studies. The position requires working
closely with the PI, as well as with Dr. Stickgold, other Martinos Center investigators,
particularly Dr. Matti Hamalainen, Director of the MEG Core Lab, and lab mates
to design studies, acquire data, and develop, explore, improve and apply data
analytic techniques. Training in clinical research and in the
acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of neuroimaging data will be
provided.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Requirements: PhD or MD Experience with MEG/EEG
data analysis/methodology and/or other signal processing. Background in cognitive
neuroscience, experimental psychology, and an interest in clinical applications
are a plus.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Position available immediately. Interested applicants should email: (a) CV,
(b) statement of post-doctoral and career goals, (c) writing sample (e.g., a
published manuscript), and (d) letters and/or contact information for three
references to Dara Manoach <<a href="mailto:Dara.Manoach@mgh.harvard.edu" target="_blank">Dara.Manoach@mgh.harvard.edu</a>><wbr>. Stipend levels are in line with experience and
NIH. A two-year commitment is required.</p>
