[Eeglablist] Post-doctoral Positions in Affective Neuroscience at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School

[Nickels, Stefanie]

Dear all,



We are looking for two new postdocs in our team. Please feel free to distribute this to recent PhD graduates or other colleagues you may know.





------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Two post-doctoral positions are available within the Laboratory for Affective and Translational Neuroscience at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School, directed by Diego A. Pizzagalli, Ph.D.



The laboratory is part of the Center for Depression, Anxiety and Stress Research (CDASR), a vibrant research center with over 40 scientists/staff/students that embraces a multi-disciplinary approach to improve our understanding of the psychological, environmental, and neurobiological factors associated with depression, anxiety and related disorders across the lifespan (http://cdasr.mclean.harvard.edu/).



Currently ongoing studies in Dr. Pizzagalli's laboratory focus on reward processing, stress responsivity, and executive functioning in a range of populations including individuals with major depression, mood spectrum disorders, as well as at-risk samples (e.g., offspring of parents with MDD). These studies employ a variety of approaches, including high-density EEG, fMRI, PET, MRS, molecular genetics, computational modeling, and assays of hormonal/inflammatory markers. Opportunities will be available to pursue independent research and interdisciplinary collaborations across Harvard Medical School. Depending on research focus, candidates will have access to three research-dedicated human MRI scanners (3 T, 4 T) and one animal MRI scanner (9.4 T), as well as two high-density EEG systems.



Qualifications: For the first position, a strong background in EEG/ERP techniques is required. For the second position, a strong background in functional/structural MRI techniques is required. For both positions, clinical training and/or experience with a second imaging modality are a plus.



To apply, send a CV, a cover letter describing research interests, as well as names and email addresses of three references to David Crowley (djcrowley at mclean.harvard.edu<mailto:djcrowley at mclean.harvard.edu>). Review of applications will begin immediately (expected start date: May-June 2018, although an earlier start will be possible).

As an equal opportunity employer, McLean seeks qualified candidates for all posted employment opportunities without regard to race, color, age, religion, gender, national origin, disability or veteran status. McLean particularly welcomes applications from minorities, women, and persons with disabilities.
