Kessler Foundation
Postdoctoral Associate Position in Human Neuroimaging
Kessler Foundation, Miami, Florida, us, 33222
Overview
The Gabbay Laboratory within the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine seeks highly motivated postdoctoral scholars in the field of human neuroimaging. Positions focus on analyzing fMRI and proton MR spectroscopy data, as well as acquiring or processing related MRI and biological measures. Under the mentorship of Vilma Gabbay, MD and Benjamin Ely, PhD, postdoctoral scholars will advance clinical and methodological knowledge through their training. The lab studies mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders in adolescent and high-risk adult populations using innovative neuroimaging and immunological methodologies. The neuroimaging program emphasizes high-resolution data acquisition and analysis techniques modeled on the Human Connectome Project (HCP). The lab is funded by four NIH R01 studies (R01MH120601, R01DA054885, R01MH128878, R01MH131207) and several smaller grants, providing strong support for active and exploratory studies. Major research topics include longitudinal studies of adolescent mood and anxiety disorders; comorbidity of depression, cannabis use, and HIV infection; and an intervention study to improve well-being among healthcare workers with parental responsibilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Project abstracts are available on NIH RePORTER. Resources on campus and through collaborations include multiple 3T MRI scanners (Siemens Skyra/Vida/Prisma) with advanced sequences, high-performance computing clusters, and an extensive library of analytic and statistical software. The PIs are committed to fostering trainee independence through publication of first-authored manuscripts and mentorship in grant applications. The successful applicant will be encouraged to develop and pursue funding for their own research project (e.g., NIH F32) by the end of the first year. Responsibilities
Run scans and analyze neuroimaging data from multiple ongoing and recently concluded projects. Write manuscripts and contribute to research dissemination. Qualifications
PhD in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, radiology, engineering, biostatistics, or a related field, with completion or near completion expected. Strong background in quantitative analysis. Proficiency with at least one major neuroimaging software suite (e.g., FSL, AFNI, SPM, Freesurfer, Caret, Connectome Workbench) and Unix/Linux environment. Familiarity with Matlab, Python, and/or R is a plus.
