*University of Delaware, Newark, DE*

*Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Adolescent and Infant Neuroimaging*

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position within a highly interdisciplinary lab at the University of Delaware investigating the short- and long-term effects of an evidence-based parenting program on brain development. The researcher will play a role in analyzing and publishing data from our NIH-funded randomized clinical trial that uses functional and structural MRI to investigate how enhanced early care shapes the developing connectome. The researcher will join an inter-disciplinary group of researchers with expertise in intervention science, genetics, psychophysiology (autonomic nervous system regulation and cortisol regulation) and neuroimaging (EEG and MRI). The candidate will be supervised by Dr. Mary Dozier, Dr. Nim Tottenham and Dr. Jeffrey Spielberg.

REQUIREMENTS:

- Ph.D. in neuroscience, psychology, clinical or developmental science or related disciplines

- Experience processing and analyzing structural and functional MRI data

ADDITIONAL HIGHLY DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

- Proficiency in MATLAB or R and/or computer programming (e.g., bash scripting)

- Previous publications using MRI data

- Interest in neuroimaging of infants and adolescents

- Strong interpersonal skills

- Collaborative team member

EXPECTED RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Analyze human MRI data using various software tools (in particular FSL, Freesurfer)

- Prepare manuscripts for publication

- Collaborate with graduate students and assist in their training in data processing and analysis

- Assist with data collection and organization of participant data

- Participate in grant and laboratory management

How to apply: Please email your CV, a brief statement of research experience and interests, and a list of three references with contact information to Dr. Mary Dozier (mdozier@udel.edu).
