Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Stanford University Functional Imaging in Neuropsychiatric Disorders (FIND) Lab

Stanford FIND Lab (http://findlab.stanford.edu), under the direction of Michael Greicius, is seeking to hire a postdoctoral fellow for a minimum two-year position. The fellowship will focus on (1) developing a deeper understanding of the genetic basis of functional brain networks in humans and (2) developing brain network imaging measures for the study of neuropsychiatric disorders. The fellow will work closely with Dr. Greicius in developing novel approaches to the analysis of functional brain networks through the study of several datasets including the Allen Institute Human Brain Atlas (http://human.brain-map.org), the ADNI dataset (http://adni.loni.ucla.edu), and several FIND Lab datasets. The ideal candidate will have a strong methods background in imaging genetics or related fields (neurogenetics, imaging, computational neuroscience) coupled with excellent writing skills. Extensive programming experience and/or expertise in classification algorithms would constitute additional advantages and could compensate for less experience in imaging genetics. MDs, PhDs, or MD/PhDs are all encouraged to apply. Interested candidates should email Dr. Greicius directly, greicius@stanford.edu , with a cover letter and CV. Qualified candidates will be asked to have 3 letters of reference forwarded to Dr. Greicius. The position can begin as early as May 1, 2011.
