Postdoctoral Fellowships and Senior Staff Scientist Position in Neuroimaging: Section on Integrative Neuroimaging

The Section on Integrative Neuroimaging (under the direction of Dr. Karen Berman) at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Intramural Research Program, offers several openings for clinical and postdoctoral fellows and a Senior Staff Scientist (Ph.D. and/or M.D.). The 300 acre campus of the NIH Intramural Research Program, near Washington D.C., houses state-of-the-art neuroimaging facilities (MRI, PET and MEG) dedicated to research and is one of the premier research sites in the world. The strong scientific environment and superb resources make this a unique opportunity for outstanding scientists. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team using multimodal neuroimaging to map genetic and neurochemical mechanisms associated with normal higher cognitive function as well as dysfunction in neuropsychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia, those with genetic sources of behavioral dysfunction such as Williams syndrome, and other conditions such as normal aging. We also have a strong neurodevelopmental imaging component. Possible research areas include 1) neurofunctional bases of neuropsychiatric illnesses, especially schizophrenia, 2) neurodevelopmental neuroimaging, 3) neurochemical underpinnings of higher cognitive function and dysfunction, and 4) imaging genetics.

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Neurobiology, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

The Behavioral Genetics Laboratory at Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital (W A. Carlezon, Director) has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow interested in preclinical studies of the neurobiology of addiction and depressive disorders. Our research involves establishing links between gene expression and behavior using animal models, but this particular position requires considerable molecular expertise. The work is funded by HHMI and a 2-year commitment is necessary. Salary will be based upon experience and publication record. Tangible expertise with concepts such as chromatin remodeling and gene imprinting is required. Because of the work we are obligated to perform, we are not able to consider individuals without this expertise for this position. Please respond to: carlezon@mclean.harvard.edu
