Connectionists: Seeking Minority PhD or Postdoctoral Candidates in Cognitive Neuroscience. Deadline Jan 15th.

[Mark A. Gluck]

We are seeking a strong minority PhD student (for our Behavioral and 
Neural Sciences Ph.D. program) or postdoctoral fellow for my lab to 
work on the  cognitive neuroscience of learning, memory, and decision 
making, including studies of genetic bases of individual differences 
in cognition, functional brain imaging, research on cognitive 
function in Parkinson's disease, clinical depression, schizophrenia, 
and PTSD, along with studies of life-span changes in memory in 
elderly African-Americans and others. There are also additional 
opportunities in to work on community-education and public 
outreach programs within our Newark African-American Alzheimer's 
Awareness & Brain Health Initiative.

Funding for minority candidates will come through either our NIH 
Minority Biomedical Research Support Center Grant or through possible 
supplemental funding to our NIH/NINDS Udall Center of Excellence in 
Parkinson's Disease grant. Note: These openings at Rutgers are for US 
Citizens or Green Card holders only.

More information on our lab and related programs is at http://www.gluck.edu

For information on our PhD program and other neuroscience resources 
at Rutgers-Newark (including our new NSF-funded Rutgers University 
Brain Imaging Center), see http://www.neuroscience.newark.rutgers.edu

We are located in Newark, New Jersey, just outside (about 13 miles 
from) Manhattan/New York City.

Please share with any under-represented minority graduating college 
seniors, post-bac research assistants, or graduate students seeking a 
postdoctoral fellowship in cognitive neuroscience for start date of 
fall 2012. 

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: JANUARY 15th, 2012. Please send cover 
letter with overview of your background and career goals, along with 
names and emails of potential recommenders and attach your CV. Email
