*Joint Affective Neuroscience Postdoctoral Position at UCSF and Stanford University in California, USA*

The Hoeft Lab (http://brainLENS.org http://brainlens.org/ PI: Fumiko Hoeft MD PhD) at the UCSF Dept of Psychiatry and Weill Institute for Neurosciences in collaboration with the Stanford Mood and Anxiety Disorders Lab in the Dept of Psychology (http://goo.gl/dc96Cx PI: Ian Gotlib PhD) is looking for an exceptional postdoc in the field of affective neuroscience, with skills such as advanced neuroimaging, computational and programming, as well as organizational skills. Training in genetics and psychophysiology is a plus.

The primary project that the postdoc will be responsible for is the examination of intergenerational neuroimaging using a ‘natural’ cross-fostering design that allows dissociation of genetic, prenatal and postnatal environment on brain networks that are transmitted across generations.
