Postdoctoral Researcher:
The Dynamic Memory Lab (C. Ranganath, PI) at the University of California, Davis, now has an open position for a funded postdoctoral researcher. We currently are running studies that involve multimodal imaging (EEG, fMRI, ECoG, Diffusion Imaging, MR Spectroscopy) as well as concurrent transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS/tACS). The lab is located at the UC Davis Center for Neuroscience, which houses a 3T Siemens Skyra MRI scanner, an MR-compatible tDCS/tACS system, and EEG systems both at the lab and in-scanner. Start date is flexible and can be delayed to accommodate defense and publication of thesis work. In addition to lab funding, candidates might be eligible for funding from the NIA T32 grant on the Neuroscience of Cognitive Aging (collaboration with Charles DeCarli) or from a joint R01 to examine memory in schizophrenia (collaboration with J. Daniel Ragland and Cam Carter).
Qualifications: Candidates must have completed a Ph.D. in Psychology, Neuroscience, or a related field and have first-authored publications that reflect familiarity with neuroscience techniques (e.g., EEG, fMRI, tDCS/tACS, TMS, etc.). For this position, successful candidates will need to have strong analytical skills in multivariate analysis of fMRI, EEG, or other neurophysiological data. Strong preference will be given to candidates with research background in learning and memory and expertise in probabalistic tractography, model-based analysis, representational similarity analysis, or pattern classification of fMRI data, time-frequency analysis, cortical source estimation and/or multivariate analysis of EEG or MEG in humans, or corresponding LFP analyses in animal models. Beyond experience, we are looking for someone who is resourceful, collaborative, resilient, productive, honest, and enthusiastic about mentoring junior lab members.
Prof. Charan Ranganath will go through applicant information starting Nov. 1st, 2016, until position is filled. Interested individuals please send your CV and names of 3 references to DML Lab Manager Nichole Bouffard ( nrbouffard@ucdavis.edu)
