JOBS: Postdoctoral Position at Georgetown University

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE OF AGING
Cognitive Aging Laboratory, Georgetown University

The Cognitive Aging Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at
Georgetown University anticipates an NIA-funded postdoctoral position in
the cognitive neuroscience of aging. Research uses structural and
functional MRI techniques and behavioral methods to investigate healthy
aging with a focus on implicit associative learning. Neuroimaging
facilities are available in the Center for Functional and Molecular
Imaging in the Georgetown University Medical Center including a
research-dedicated Siemens 3T Trio full-body scanner. Facilities for ERP
and near infrared spectroscopy are also available.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. and have first-hand experience in design,
implementation and analysis of MRI studies. Although a strong interest
in cognitive aging is critical, research experience in this area is
preferred, but not essential. Salary is commensurate with experience.
Starting date is flexible. Initial appointment will be for 1 year with
renewal possible for up to 5 years.

Please e-mail a letter of interest, Research Statement, CV, pdfs of 2
representative papers, and the email addresses of 3 references to
Darlene Howard. Questions may be directed to either Darlene Howard
(howardd@georgetown.edu) or James Howard (howard@cua.edu).

Georgetown University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
