<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on an NIH-funded project at the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center (MPRC), University of Maryland School of Medicine, that involves the use of fMRI and computational modeling methods to investigate decision making and reinforcement learning in schizophrenia. The work involves an extensive collaboration between MPRC investigators (James Waltz and James Gold) and the Brown University laboratory of Michael Frank. We are seeking a rather unique individual - someone with a strong computational background, but also with an interest in psychopathology. Funding is available for up to 2 years.</font> </p>
