POSTDOCTORAL POSITION at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, USA

The Brain Imaging and Modeling Section directed by Barry Horwitz of the
National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, NIH,
is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on functional brain
imaging projects.  The position would be initially for 2 years, with
extension for several more years possible.

The Brain Imaging and Modeling Section performs studies using fMRI, MEG
and computational neural modeling.  The emphasis in the laboratory is on
studies of audition, speech and language processing.  This laboratory
has pioneered the use of network analysis methods and the use of
biologically realistic neural modeling for understanding neuroimaging data.

The successful applicant will have a Ph.D and/or MD in a relevant field,
and experience with neuroimaging and/or neural modeling.  Knowledge of
experimental design, connectivity analysis methods, and time series
analysis techniques would be particularly welcomed.  MATLAB expertise
and familiarity with Linux preferred.

The position could start as early as Oct. 1, 2009.  The search will
continue until the position is filled.  Salary will be commensurate with
experience.

The position is on the main NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, USA, a
