[Neuropostdocs] Neuroplasticity postdoc position announcement

[Pregent, Stephanie Ann]

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN HUMAN BRAIN PLASTICITY, CENTER FOR COGNITIVE AND BRAIN HEALTH, NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY, BOSTON

Applications are invited for multi-year positions in human brain plasticity at the Northeastern University in Boston.  The successful applicant will have the opportunity to play an important role in the interdisciplinary study of human brain and cognitive plasticity in a multi-site trial on the effects of physical fitness training on brain and cognitive health of older adults. The candidate will also have the opportunity to work on additional projects focused on cognitive and brain plasticity as well as a variety of behavioral and neuroimaging datasets that have previously been collected.

Essential skills include a thorough knowledge of fMRI and structural MRI techniques, strong organizational abilities, as well as the ability to work well within a team setting. 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 completed all requirements of their doctoral program by May 2017.

Salary will be in the range $45,000 to $55,000, depending on knowledge and experience, and will come with a full benefits package from Northeastern University.

Please send applications (via e-mail) including cover letter, CV, the names and addresses of three referees, in one pdf file, to the Principal Investigators, Dr. Art Kramer a.kramer at northeastern.edu<mailto:a.kramer at northeastern.edu>) and Dr. Charles Hillman (c.hillman at northeastern.edu<mailto:c.hillman at northeastern.edu>).   Please feel free to call us at 1-617-373-2129 or email with questions or for additional information.  The position will be in the Center for Cognitive and Brain Health in the new Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Complex (see:  http://www.northeastern.edu/isec/) at Northeastern University.
