Lab Name: Dynamic Imaging of Cognition & Neuromodulation (DICoN) Laboratory
Supervisor Name: Tony Wilson
Position Title: Postdoctoral Fellow
Description:
The DICoN Laboratory led by Dr. Tony Wilson at Boys Town National Research Hospital seeks a postdoctoral fellow to work on NIH funded studies of brain development. We currently have projects examining the trajectory of functional brain development in the first four years of life (i.e., 0 to 48 months) and during the transition from childhood to adolescence (i.e., 6-15 years-old). The successful candidate will focus on one of these projects, with the opportunity to contribute to both. The DICoN Laboratory is one of seven laboratories within the state-of-the-art Institute for Human Neuroscience, which houses major research-dedicated tools, including two next-generation 306-sensor MEG Neo systems, a Siemens Prisma 3T MRI system, a prototype 208-channel Cerca OPM system, 64-lead transcranial direct- and alternating-current stimulation (tDCS/tACS) equipment, a high performance computer cluster, and extensive support staff.
The position is up to three years in duration. Within the two project areas noted above, the research focus is flexible, but demonstrated expertise in neuroimaging, statistical modeling, and/or cognitive neuroscience is essential. Applicants with previous experience in developmental neuroscience will be given preference, but we are primarily seeking the best candidate to join our Institute.
Successful candidates will have a PhD, MD, or MD/PhD in neuroscience, psychology, computer science, or a related field, with an excellent publication record for their career stage. They will join a vibrant and rapidly growing group of developmental cognitive neuroscientists using world-class neuroimaging equipment and resources, with significant opportunities within the Institute for career development and promotion to faculty. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Applications materials (CV and letter of interest) can be sent to tony.wilson@boystown.org
