Research Fellowship Position
A research fellow is needed for studies of cerebral cortex
asymmetry in control and schizophrenia postmortem brains. The project is
part of our
research on alterations
of hemispheric asymmetry and other features of neuropathology in the cerebral
cortex in schizophrenia. This fellowship carries a full stipend with medical
benefits and partial tuition remission. It provides an opportunity for an independent-minded
student to conduct thesis research in cortical neuropathology and anatomy in
a productive NIH-funded laboratory. The successful candidate will be expected
to conduct data collection and archiving, analysis and eventually to write
and submit manuscripts reporting these results.

Postdoctoral Position
Nathan Kline Research Institute and Cornell Medical School, New York
An immediate opening exists for a postdoctoral fellow (must be a US citizen or green-card holder) to study executive control and multisensory integration processes in both healthy and depressed older adults. The position will involve the coregistration of high-density event-related potential (ERP) data recorded from a 168-channel “Active Electrode” system with fMRI data sets from our on-site 1.5T and 3T research magnets. The initial term is for 2 years.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Experimental Psychology or a related discipline. The Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory at NKI is equipped with state-of-the-art coregistration software, 3D digitization equipment and all software and hardware necessary for this task.
Interested applicants should send a CV, statement of research background and interests, and names and addresses of at least 3 references to Dr. John Foxe at the address below. Informal inquiries can be made by e-mail (foxe@nki.rfmh.org) or by phone (+845-398-6547).
