Applications are invited for a multi-year position in human brain plasticity at the University of Illinois. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to play an important role in the interdisciplinary study of human brain and cognitive plasticity in several funded research projects including cognitive training in a complex video-game like environments and fitness training.
Essential skills include a thorough knowledge of fMRI and structural MRI techniques, good organizational abilities, as well as the ability to work well in teams. While this position requires technical sophistication it is more suited for someone who is scientifically interested in neuroplasticity and the relation to cognition, than someone with a strict methods orientation. The successful applicant will hold a PhD; however applications are also welcomed from current PhD students who will have submitted their dissertations by June 1, 2008.
Salary will be in the range $43,000 to $50,000, depending on knowledge and experience, and will come with health and other benefits at the University of Illinois.
Please send applications (via e-mail) including cover letter, CV, the names and addresses of three referees, in one pdf file, to the Principal Investigator, Dr Art Kramer (a-kramer@uiuc.edu ). You are also welcome to call us at 1-217-244-1933 or email for additional information.
