The Clinical Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Program directed by Stacie L. Warren,
PhD, and Tilman Schulte, PhD, at Palo Alto University is seeking a neuroimaging
postdoctoral scholar. This is an exciting opportunity to work on a range of cognitive and
affective studies that focus on executive function, emotion regulation, stress
responsivity, reward processing, and aging on neural circuitry. Populations of interest
include healthy adults, adults with or at risk for developing psychopathology, and
neurological disorders.
The postdoctoral fellow's primary responsibility is to analyze neuroimaging data
(resting-state and task-based fMRI) and to develop and apply novel data analysis
techniques. Additionally, Drs. Warren and Schulte are committed to fostering the
postdoctoral scholar's research independence through first-authored manuscript
writing and grant preparation.
The start date of the position is as soon as possible, but no later than August 1, 2018.
