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.
