The Gaab Lab http://www.childrenshospital.org/research/gaablab and (www.babymri.org)<http://www.babymri.org)>) at the Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience at Children's Hospital Boston (Developmental Medicine Center) invites applications for a NIH funded post-doctoral associate in the area of developmental cognitive neuroscience/pediatric fMRI. Available resources include a 3.0T MRI scanner, a child-friendly Mock scanner and analysis platforms based in MATLAB/UNIX. The candidate will be expected to design, organize and conduct pediatric and infant (f)MRI experiments, analyze behavioral and fMRI data, prepare manuscripts for publication, and participate in conferences.
The NIH and foundation funded projects will focus on neural and behavioral pre-markers of developmental dyslexia in infants and pre-reading children as well as typical reading and language development. The successful applicant should have a doctoral degree in a field related to developmental cognitive neuroscience (e.g., cognitive neuroscience, neuroscience, developmental psychology, medicine or psychology). Individuals with a background in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering or computer science will also be considered, as appropriate. The successful applicant must possess excellent English verbal and written communication skills. Applicants are expected to have a very strong research background in the design and statistical analysis of functional brain-imaging experiments. Experience with SPM, FSL, Freesurfer, UNIX/LINUX/ and/or programming skills (MATLAB, C++; Python) are desirable and experience with MVPA or connectivity analyses a plus. Experience with pediatric functional neuroimaging and language and reading research are useful. Approximate start date is Spring/Summer 2013 (the earlier the better). Successful applicants will be appointed at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School. For consideration please send a statement of interest, a CV and a list of three potential referees via email to Nadine Gaab, PhD (nadine.g...@childrens.harvard.edu<mailto:nadine.g...@childrens.harvard.edu>). The search will continue until the position is filled. -- "If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?" A.
