Post-Doctoral Fellow

A full-time post-doctoral position is available at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)/Harvard Medical school in the laboratories of Drs. Mark Eldaief (Assistant Professor of Neurology) and Randy Buckner (Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and Director of Psychiatric Neuroimaging). These laboratories are pioneers in the fields of functional neuroimaging, non-invasive brain stimulation, and network neuroscience. This project involves studying the neural mechanisms underlying the efficacy of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to treat depression. The project will use state-of-the-art precision mapping of functional brain networks in the individual patient with depression. Next, each of these networks will be precisely stimulated with TMS in separate sessions, and the behavioral and functional readouts of these stimulations will be recorded with structured instruments and fMRI BOLD imaging. Work locations: * Harvard University Center for Brain Sciences, Cambridge, MA. * Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Martinos Center for Brain Imaging, Charlestown, MA. Duration and timing: 2 years, to start immediately.

Experience/Qualifications:

• MD, PhD, or MD/PhD level degree.

• Strong background in functional MRI analysis methods (especially resting-state functional connectivity methods) including programming in MATLAB and Python, and familiarity with FreeSurfer, SPM, FSL, AFNI, CONN toolbox, and Connectome Workbench.

• Background in biostatistics.

• Experience with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), with combined TMS/fMRI are preferred but not required.

• Clinical experience interacting with neuropsychiatric patients is preferred but not required.

Opportunities:

• Appointment as a post-doctoral fellow at MGH/Harvard Medical School.

• Direct supervision by Drs. Eldaief and Buckner.

• Publications on resulting manuscripts.

• Presentations at national and international meetings.
