Position in Affective and Clinical/Translational Neuroscience
University
of Maryland, College Park, MD
Candidates
are being considered for a NIH-funded post-baccalaureate (study coordinator)
position in the laboratory of Dr. Alex Shackman in the Department of Psychology
at the University of Maryland at College Park (http://shackmanlab.org/). The
overarching mission of the lab is to have a deep impact on the fields of affective
and clinical/translational neuroscience. To that end, we do our best to perform
innovative studies that can lead to significant discoveries, to disseminate our
discoveries as widely as possible, and to mentor trainees to become top-notch
scientists. As part of several recent NIH awards,
the focus of this position will be to support
on-going projects aimed at understanding the neurobiology of fear and anxiety
and its role in the development and maintenance of adult anxiety disorders,
depression, and substance abuse.
This position will provide opportunities to
gain experience with neuroimaging (fMRI), ecological momentary assessment
(EMA), eye-tracking, psychophysiological, and clinical interviewing techniques.
This is an exciting opportunity for receiving top-notch mentorship and
establishing a competitive research record in preparation for graduate school.
This is a 1 year position that is renewable for a total of 2 years, contingent
on performance and funding.
Duties may include, but are not limited to, subject
recruitment, data acquisition using behavioral and neuroimaging techniques,
study management, database management, data processing/analysis, and lab
management. We are particularly excited about candidates with a background in
imaging methods, programming, digital signal processing, quantitative methods,
statistics, or related areas.
Applicants should send a cover letter describing
relevant experience and interests, CV/resume, and 2-3 letters of reference to
Dr. Shackman (shackman@umd.edu).
Applicants will be considered until the position is filled. The University of
Maryland is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative-Action Employer.
