Postdoctoral position in multivariate connectivity and computational modeling in fMRI
Wanted: Post-doctoral fellow interested in delving into new computational techniques for fMRI analysis. This position is ideal for students with a background in neuroimaging who want to strengthen their technical skills in preparation for a job market that increasingly values advanced analysis methods, or for students with a background in machine learning who want to branch into neuroscience.
This Simons Foundation-funded research project will be focused on developing, evaluating, and deploying state-of-the-art multivariate connectivity techniques and other modeling approaches. The initial application will be to a large Autism dataset, and may grow from there depending on progress. The postdoc will work closely with the PIs: Prof. Stefano Anzellotti and Prof. Joshua Hartshorne (Department of Psychology, Boston College). Both PIs run young, small labs, so the post-doc can expect individualized attention and training.
Boston College is a research university classified as "Very High Research Activity (R1)" by the Carnegie Classification, and has a bustling Psychology and Neuroscience department with 19 faculty. Graduate students and post-docs in the department regularly go on to prestigious academic appointments (e.g., see https://bit.ly/2PdvK3N). You can learn more about Drs. Anzellotti and Hartshorne at sccnlab.bc.edu and l3atbc.org, respectively.
Preferred start date is between June 1 2019 and Jan. 1 2020. Boston College is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Candidates from backgrounds underrepresented in psychology/neuroscience are particularly encouraged to apply. The position is funded for two years and may be renewable beyond the second year depending on funding. Salary follows the NIH Postdoc scale. Boston College is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Candidates from backgrounds underrepresented in psychology/neuroscience are particular encouraged to apply.
To apply, submit a CV, contact information for 2-3 references, and a cover letter highlighting relevant research experiences and interests directly to jkhartshorne(a)gmail.com. Review of application is ongoing and will continue until the position is filled.

Please see attached advertisement for a program officer at NIMH that a colleague asked me to forward. Please disseminate to any folks who might be interested.
Attached is a copy of the position notice for a Program Officer to join the NIMH Geriatrics and Aging Processes Research Branch. The same notice can be found on the NIMH website athttps://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/careers/health-scientist-administrator-pro…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.nimh.nih.gov_about…>.
We are very interested in adding a staff member equipped to help the Branch to continue to expand its translational neuroscience programs. While it would be ideal to find a candidate with all the forms of expertise described in the notice, realistically we are open to considering individuals who could come to the position with a substantial portion of the stated qualifications, even if they might have gaps or weaknesses with respect to some of the desired aspects (e.g., candidates with strong credentials both in neuroscience and psychopathology but with limited experience specific to aging or older adults, or candidates with strengths in both neuroscience and the biological aging process but less grounding in clinical mental health issues). In mulling over whether you know anyone to recommend, you could include, and we will consider, promising graduate students or medical/psychiatric residents who are nearing the end of their training, as well as colleagues or professionals with whom you are acquainted who are further along in their careers.
If you know of one or more individuals who might be a reasonable candidate for us to consider, or even someone whom you think it might be worthwhile for us to check with (as to his or her potential interest), we would be most appreciative of getting such suggestions from you. You could forward any recommendations to me (gniedere(a)mail.nih.gov<mailto:gniedere@mail.nih.gov>; 301-443-9123) or to Jovier Evans (jevans1(a)mail.nih.gov<mailto:jevans1@mail.nih.gov>; 301-443-1369). Alternately, you might pass information about this opportunity along to the persons you think might be potential candidates and ask them to contact us if interested in looking further into this position at NIMH. Either way, we will be immensely grateful for your help. Thanks for considering this request and for your support of aging-related research at NIMH.
Sincerely,

Description: The ADN Lab conducts decision neuroscience work in health and drug addiction that borrows heavily on methods from psychology, experimental economics, clinical neuroscience, and computational psychiatry. Projects span clinical studies of risk and resilience factors in addiction recovery to experimental studies of value construction, subjective states (craving, stress), and dietary choice in health, and use a variety of techniques including behavior, functional MRI, psychophysiology, and clinical assessment and phenotyping. The successful candidate will have an opportunity to develop their own research questions within the broader aims of the lab as well as contribute to ongoing projects and collaborations.
Rutgers University offers an ideal environment to conduct clinically-oriented computational and cognitive neuroscience research including access to the Rutgers-Princeton Center for Computational Cognitive Neuro-Psychiatry, the Rutgers Brain Imaging Center, the Brain Health Institute, and a large network of university-affiliated clinics and treatment centers. Added bonus: we are located an hour train ride from wonderful New York City.
Qualifications: PhD, MD or MD/PhD in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or a related field is required. Previous experience working with functional neuroimaging, computational modeling, and/or patient populations is strongly desired but not required. The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic, curious, and will have excellent communication skills.
To apply: Please send a letter of interest describing your background, skills, and research interests, along with your CV and contact information for two references to Anna Konova, PhD (anna.konova(a)rutgers.edu<mailto:anna.konova@rutgers.edu>). Informal inquiries are also welcome.
