Clinical Neuroimaging Scientist opportunity
We seek a highly motivated individual to join our multidisciplinary team in the Human Performance Optimization Lab and the Interventional Psychiatry Program to lead clinical and translational mental health research. Our collaboration seeks to innovate more potent neuromodulation approaches to treat mental illness and neurological disorders. Studies are based on the identification of healthy and pathological brain function related to cognition and mood with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or electroencephalography (EEG), and the development and testing of interventional treatments with TMS, ECT, ketamine, psilocybin and other stimulation modalities.
A highly qualified candidate is sought to contribute to all aspects of the research process with an emphasis on analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of fMRI elements of interventional clinical trials. Other important roles and responsibilities include, study design, analysis of behavioral, EEG and TMS data, authoring of published articles, grant writing, and the mentoring and supervision of students and research assistants. Applicants must have: (a) high competence with neuroimaging (fMRI), neurostimulation, clinical trials, and statistical techniques; (b) a graduate/medical degree in psychology, psychiatry, cognitive neuroscience, or a related field, (c) passion for science and discovery. Attention to detail, strong quantitative skills, and the ability to work in team-based environment are also of top importance.
Qualified candidates can be considered for employment under job titles including Postdoctoral Fellow, Project Scientist, or Research Scientist. Salary and title are determined based on qualifications and experience. The initial appointment is for one year, with the opportunity of renewal for additional years. This position comes with full benefits through the University of California, San Diego. Review of candidates will start immediately, and will continue until the position is filled. The position is available immediately and applicants must be willing to live in San Diego CA area.
To apply, please send an email to Dr. Greg Appelbaum (greg@health.ucsd.edu), with a current CV, a letter of interest with the expected date of availability, and the names and contact information for at least three references. Informal inquiry and questions are also welcome via email.
