Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of Dr. Vinod Menon, we would greatly appreciate if you could forward the following call for a postdoctoral position
to your department, and/or interested candidates.
Stanford University Postdoctoral Fellowship in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
The
Stanford Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience Laboratory invites applications for
postdoctoral fellowships in cognitive development with a focus on mathematical cognition and learning. We seek candidates with strong research backgrounds to work on NIH-funded projects combining multimodal brain imaging (functional MRI, structural MRI, diffusion
MRI) with cognitive modeling and advanced computational brain network analyses in one or more of the following areas: learning and memory, numerical cognition, longitudinal neurocognitive development, cognitive training, and brain plasticity. Populations of
interest include typically developing children, children with learning disabilities, and children with autism. The successful candidate will develop a vigorous research program that contributes to, and complements, ongoing research studies of typical and atypical
neurocognitive development. The candidate will have access to state-of-the-art brain imaging facilities and computational resources at Stanford University. Candidates must have a PhD and research experience in cognitive neuroscience, brain development, cognitive
science, psychology, or related fields. Strong computational and programming skills and expertise in MRI data analysis are highly desirable. Please email a CV, statement of research interests, relevant background, list of publications, and names of three referees
to Drs. Vinod Menon and Aarthi Padmanabhan at scsnl.stanford+postdoc@gmail.com.
