[Eeglablist] Postdoctoral Training Fellowship Opening in Addiction Research, with a Focus on EEG Neuroimaging

[Edward Bernat]

*Postdoctoral Training Fellowship Opening in Addiction Research, with a 
Focus on EEG Neuroimaging**
*
The University of Maryland, Department of Psychology, seeks a 
postdoctoral fellow in addiction research focused on EEG neuroimaging 
approaches (newly including simultaneous EEG/fMRI). The position will 
center on investigating brain processing associated with the consumption 
of tobacco products.  Our transdisciplinary group has existing EEG data 
from cigarettes, e-cigarettes, smokeless tobacco products, as well as 
flavoring of these products.  Fellows are also encouraged to develop and 
conduct new research in line with these themes.  To facilitate 
development of independent research, the fellowship includes access to 
NIH/FDA seed grant funding as a Principal Investigator (through the 
TCORS, see below).

The position is part of the University of Maryland Tobacco Center of 
Regulatory Science (TCORS), funded by the National Institutes of Health 
(NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The larger training 
program includes structured interactions and opportunities for 
collaborations with neuroscientists, psychologists, chemists, 
biologists, and epidemiologists.

We are seeking candidates with a doctoral degree in behavioral and 
social sciences, life sciences, neuroscience, or related fields. 
Successful applicants will have substantive interests in addiction 
research, and a goal of developing expertise in EEG and EEG/fMRI 
neuroimaging.  Experience in cognitive neuroscience methods, EEG 
neuroimaging approaches, and related data analysis platforms are 
desirable. Strong computational programming skills are desirable (e.g. 
Matlab, Python, R, etc.). The position offers excellent training in 
advanced aspects of EEG neuroimaging data analysis, including 
time-frequency energy and phase-synchrony approaches and bivariate and 
multivariate functional connectivity approaches (e.g. 
graph-theoretic/network techniques). The trainee will be supervised by 
Dr. Edward Bernat (University of Maryland Department of Psychology; 
Maryland Neuroimaging Center; Neuroscience and Cognitive Science 
program), and a member of the University of Maryland TCORS postdoctoral 
training program.

The University of Maryland is ideally situated near NIH, FDA and other 
major federal facilities, offering opportunities for collaboration with 
some of the nation’s top scientists. This ideal location will provide 
exciting opportunities for transdisciplinary training, as fellows 
(trainees) may participate in collaborations at the University of 
Maryland, Battelle laboratories and at various government agencies, such 
as, NIH, CDC, and FDA.

*Qualified* individuals must have completed a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent 
degree (in the behavioral and social sciences, life sciences, 
engineering, physical and chemical sciences or related fields) and must 
be a U.S. citizen or have permanent resident status.

*Applications* will be reviewed until the positions are filled. Position 
can begin as early as July 1, 2016. Please send your application to Dr. 
Edward Bernat (ebernat at umd.edu), including:

1. Cover Letter explaining professional development goals and research focus
2. Resume or CV
3. Names and email addresses of three references

The University of Maryland is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Women and 
minorities are strongly encouraged to apply and self-identify on their 
application.
