Connectionists: postdoc position at Brown

[Michael J Frank]

The Carney Institute for Brain Science at Brown University is seeking
Postdoctoral Fellows to join the NIMH funded T32 Training Program in
Computational Psychiatry. The program’s goal is to train research fellows
with expertise in computational cognitive and systems neuroscience, capable
of collaborating with clinical researchers to advance knowledge of
psychiatric disorders and treatments. Eligible research topics include
brain and cognitive modeling over multiple scales and levels of analysis
(ranging from biophysics to artificial intelligence), and the use of these
models to understand mechanisms of psychiatric disorders with the ultimate
goal of improving treatments. The program applies an apprenticeship model
in which fellows work with a primary research trainer in a computational
field and a secondary research mentor in clinical psychiatry. In this
apprenticeship model, the trainer works closely with the fellow and a
secondary clinical psychiatry mentor, who is conducting research in areas
such as neuroimaging, neurostimulation, digital phenotyping, and/or animal
models. The list of eligible faculty trainers can be found on the Training
Program in Computational Psychiatry’s website
<https://www.brown.edu/carney/training/training-programs/tpcp-training-program-computational-psychiatry>
.



Applicants must have completed all requirements for a doctoral degree
before start of the position and be US citizens or permanent residents as
per the requirements of the NIH T32 funding mechanism. *Salary will be

The Carney Institute for Brain Science is committed to building a diverse,
engaged, and collaborative scientific community that convenes the best and
brightest minds to solve unanswered questions about how the human brain
functions in health and disease. We know that the highest quality of
research and scholarship are central to meeting these challenges, both of
which depend upon engaging talented scientists from across disciplines and
embracing their contributions in a fully inclusive community.
