Post-Doctoral Fellow in Brain Imaging Genomics of Alzheimer’s Disease

Post-Doctoral Fellow in Brain Imaging Genomics of Alzheimer’s Disease

The Brain Imaging Genomics Laboratory of the Indiana University Center for Neuroimaging (CfN) and the Neuroimaging Core of the NIA-funded Indiana Alzheimer Disease Center (IADC), directed by Dr. Andrew Saykin, has openings for outstanding, highly motivated post-doctoral researchers with special interest in the areas of genomics/computational systems biology, cognitive neuroscience, and human brain imaging, to play a major role in state-of-the-science integrative studies of early stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related disorders.

Special opportunities afforded by this fellowship include experience working directly with the Genetics Core of the NIA-funded Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative and the IADC, as well as with the IU Network Science Institute (IUNI), which is conducting pioneering integrative studies of systems biology, the human connectome, and networks of AD. The CfN, IADC, and IUNI are highly collaborative transdisciplinary environments with internationally known investigators in Medical Neuroscience, Medical and Molecular Genetics, Computer Science and Bioinformatics.

Applicants should hold a PhD, MD or MD/PhD in bioinformatics, computational genetics, systems biology, neuroscience, or a related discipline, and have high motivation and enthusiasm for research and excellent written and oral communication skills. Preference is given to candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas: medical and molecular genomics, computational systems biology, network analysis, and multimodal MRI and PET neuroimaging.

To apply, please email a cover letter with a brief description of research experience, interests and goals, full CV, and three reference letters to Brad Glazier, Program Administrator (bsglazie@iu.edu).
