The Human Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory (affiliated with UC Davis and the VA Northern California and located in the San Francisco Bay Area) is searching for a co-director to assist in directing ongoing VA-sponsored research programs using structural and functional MRI. Research programs include the development of quantitative automated lesion detection techniques to evaluate traumatic brain injury, longitudinal investigations of neuroplastic changes associated with neurological recovery and cognitive/perceptual training and fMRI studies of auditory and visual selective attention (see www.ebire.org/hcnlab http://www.ebire.org/hcnlab for further details). This is a full-time research position at the equivalent of Assistant or Associate Professor Level with up to three years of salary and research support deriving from existing research grants. The applicant is expected to develop successful independent research programs during the 3-yr period. Post-doctoral training, evidence of research productivity, and prior grant funding are highly desirable. The applicant should have a strong background in MRI/fMRI or other brain imaging techniques (e.g., PET, TMS, MEG, EEG, etc.). Resources include a Philips Eclipse 1.5T scanner (to be upgraded to 3T in 2009), Bio-semi EEG and ERP recording systems, Magstim TMS stimulators, SR eye tracking systems, and multiple testing rooms for physiological, psychophysical and behavioral experiments. Opportunities exist for UC faculty appointment and collaborations with scientists at UC Davis and UC Berkeley. US citizenship is preferred. Salary: $70,000-$100,000 depending on experience. Interested candidates should email a statement of research interests, C.V., list of research grants and postdoctoral fellowships, representative publications, and the names of three references to dlwoods@ucdavis.edu.
