Department of Veterinary Biosciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Post-Doctoral Positions available at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We are currently seeking to fill two post-doctoral positions in our research group. We have a large Center Grant to study the effects of combined exposure to PCBs and methylmercury during pre- and early postnatal development on cognitive, motor, and sensory function. We are conducting a prospective study in an exposed human population and parallel laboratory studies in rodent models. We are seeking applicants with expertise in behavioral neuroscience, cognitive development during infancy, environmental epidemiology or closely related fields. One position would consist primarily of laboratory-based studies in rodent models, whereas the other would focus on field-based studies of cognitive, behavioral and auditory function in exposed human infants. However, significant opportunities for cross-fertilization between the laboratory and epidemiological studies exist. To apply, please send a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests and the names and contact information of three references to Dr. Susan L. Schantz, University of Illinois, Department of Veterinary Biosciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, 2001 S. Lincoln Ave., Urbana, IL 61802 or email Family Research Laboratory, University of New Hampshire, Durham FELLOWSHIPS
AVAILABLE: Family Research Laboratory (FRL) has fellowships
for research on family violence. These positions are open to new
and experienced researchers with a Ph.D.in the fields of psychology,
sociology, social work, law, nursing, public health and medicine.
The fellowships sponsor work in the area of child abuse, partner
violence, elder abuse, sexual abuse, child victimization, rape,
homicide and other family-violence related topics with special attention
to mental health impact. Scholars use the one-year fellowships (with
possible one-year extension) to collaborate with FRL faculty on
a current project, to work on one of the many data sets archived
at the FRL or, in the case of senior candidates, to work on their
own projects. Annual stipends run from $35,568 to $51,036 depending
upon the number of years since receipt of doctorate. UCSD Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory The UCSD Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory has two post-doctoral positions available. One position will focus on studies of spatial cognitive development in children 8- to 16-years of age using primarily behavioral measures to examine developmental change. The second position focuses on similar issues within the same age range, but includes functional magnetic resonance imaging measures of brain activation in addition to basic behavioral measures. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, or related field, and a strong background in both cognitive and brain development.The focus of research in the laboratory is on the development of spatial cognitive functioning examining both visual object processing and spatial mental operations (localization, mental rotation, spatial attention, mental image generation). Behavioral studies of typically developing children are central to all work conducted in the laboratory. These studies serve as: the foundation for understanding profiles of typical development, the basis for specific design of functional neuroimaging studies, and as the normative controls for both behavioral and imaging work with populations of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (prenatal stroke, specific language impairment, WMS, etc). The current positions are funded as part of a NIH grant to study visual object processing in typically developing children, and focus specifically on studies designed to examine profiles of developmental change in object processing and to map developmental change in profiles of activation within the ventral temporal visual processing stream. As such, the studies are well defined, and thus it is important that the candidate have a primary interest in studying the development of processes associated with the ventral temporal system. A strong background in the development of categorization, shape processing, and face processing is desirable. Experience with Linux/Unix and fMRI desired. Position available immediately.
