Position: Postdoctoral Position in Neuroimaging Research on Brain
Aging and Alzheimer’s disease
Area: Brain Aging and Alzheimer’s disease
Department: Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior
Institution: Brown University
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to lead an
NIH-funded project in the Laboratory for Cognitive and Translational
Neuroscience (Director: Dr. Hwamee Oh) at Brown University. The
project is to use amyloid and tau PET and structural MRI/DTI to study
the impact of Alzheimer’s disease pathologies on structural and
functional networks among cognitively normal older adults and patients
with cognitive impairment.
Applicants with a Ph.D. degree in cognitive neuroscience,
computational neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or a relevant field
are encouraged to apply. Prior experience with human neuroimaging in
PET and/or structural MRI, and familiarity with programming in relevant
languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB) are required. Applicants with
experience with amyloid and tau PET or diffusion weighted imaging are
especially encouraged to apply. The successful candidate is expected
to demonstrate communication skills, motivation and interest in the
area of neuroscience of cognitive and brain aging and Alzheimer’s
disease, and the ability to independently develop research questions
and work in collaboration with other team members.
A preferred start date is Summer 2024, although it can be flexible. The
position is primarily affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry and
Human Behavior at Brown University.
Interested applicants should email a brief description of research
background and career goals, and CV with a list of 3 references to Dr.
Hwamee Oh at
hwamee_oh@brown.edu.
