The Human Brain and Behavior Laboratory

The Human Brain and Behavior Laboratory (HBBL) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) seeks to hire a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the area of neuroimaging and brain injury. The successful candidate will work on an NINDS funded project using functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neurophysiological basis of cognitive deficits resulting from mild brain injury and associated mechanisms underlying recovery of function. The research will be carried out using a GE 3.0T MRI located on the FAU campus. A 128 channel Neuroscan EEG system is also available on site and possibilities for extending the work to include MEG and PET tracer studies are in place.

The ideal candidate will have a keen interest in the study of mild brain injury and concussion and how they relate to known behavioral and cognitive deficits. The applicant should have experience with functional imaging techniques especially fMRI. Familiarity with the computational and analytical tools (e.g., AFNI, SPM, Visual Basic, Matlab, Lisrel, Linux, etc.) necessary to run studies and analyze large data sets will be considered an advantage. The position will be for one year with the possibility of extension depending on satisfactory progress. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Qualified candidates should send CV and arrange for 3 reference letters via email to:
