POSTDOC POSITION:  COMPUTATIONAL NEUROIMAGING --Rutgers University.

We seek a postdoctoral applicant for a position at Rutgers University -
Newark in New Jersey in the RUBMA Lab (Rutgers Brain/Mind Analysis;

methods and techniques related to "brain reading" including premier
tools such as pyMVPA.   Our Cognitive/Perceptual  research is focused on
learning and memory, specifically in terms of language supporting
functions and modularity: Categorization, representation, sequential
learning,  event cognition etc.    Our Computational research areas
includes multivariate classifiers for fMRI, graph modeling of large
scale brain interactivity (Ramsey et al 2010; intrinsic/extrinsic
networks) as well as spatial brain clustering (Dense Mode Clustering;
Hanson et al 2008, MRI) and inter-brain synchrony metrics
(Eigen-Value-Synchrony methods- Hanson et al, 2009, Comp. Neuroscience).
We are located in beautiful  downtown Newark, 13 miles outside of New
York City. See http://www rumba.rutgers.edu for more information)
