[Neuropostdocs] Re: post-doc position; human brain plasticity at Beckman

[Samuel Beshers]

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN HUMAN BRAIN PLASTICITY, BECKMAN INSTITUTE, 
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

Applications are invited for a multi-year position in human brain 
plasticity at the University of Illinois.  The successful applicant will 
have the opportunity to play an important role in the interdisciplinary 
study of  human brain and cognitive plasticity in several funded 
research projects including cognitive training in a complex video-game 
like environments and fitness training.

Essential skills include a thorough knowledge of fMRI and structural MRI 
techniques, good organizational abilities, as well as the ability to 
work well in teams. While this position requires technical 
sophistication it is more suited for someone who is scientifically 
interested in neuroplasticity and the relation to cognition, than 
someone with a strict methods orientation. The successful applicant will 
hold a PhD; however applications are also welcomed from current PhD 
students who will have submitted their dissertations by June 1, 2008.

Salary will be in the range $43,000 to $50,000, depending on knowledge 
and experience, and will come with health and other benefits at the 
University of Illinois.

Please send applications (via e-mail) including cover letter, CV, the 
names and addresses of three referees, in one pdf file, to the Principal 
Investigator, Dr Art Kramer (a-kramer at uiuc.edu).   You are also welcome 
to call us at 1-217-244-1933 or email for additional information.
