Postdoctoral Fellow in Forensic Clinical/Cognititive Neuroscience-Kiehl Lab 2019-1064

Postdoctoral Fellow
Job #2018.164.M
 
Summary
 
A forensic clinical/cognitive neuroscience postdoctoral research position is currently available in Dr. Kent Kiehl's laboratory at The Mind Research Network and the Department of Psychology at the University of New Mexico (open until filled). The position is located in Albuquerque, NM.
 
Required
 
Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, or related field is required. Those with experience and interest in neuroprediction, particularly the use of brain and behavioral measures to predict outcomes (e.g., relapse to substance abuse and/or criminal behavior) are strongly encouraged to apply.
 
This opportunity includes access the world's largest multimodal forensic database including structural and functional MRI, genetics, and clinical assessment data on over 3500 offenders.
 
All candidates should possess a strong interest (and preferably experience) working with incarcerated populations, a strong background in research, and experience coordinating research projects. Duties include working with a research team on several grant funded studies examining the cognitive and neural systems underlying psychopathy, substance abuse, and related illnesses. Experience with clinical assessment training is preferred. Expertise in research design and statistical analysis of longitudinal outcomes data is highly desirable.
 
Expectations involve analysis of existing data and preparation of manuscripts for dissemination of research (topics flexible), development of new research protocols, and submitting applications for independent grant funding (NRSA fellowships or similar). Qualified hires will also receive training in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data collection and analyses. Other duties include but are not limited to performing clinical assessments in incarcerated populations, literature analyses, setting and implementing timelines for projects, recruiting healthy subjects/patients, and organizing data. Position will include access to the MRN Mobile Imaging System that is deployed to local and out-of-state prisons. Pay will be commensurate with experience.
 
The Mind Research Network is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and brain injury.

Headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, MRN consists of an interdisciplinary association of scientists located at universities, national laboratories and research centers around the world and is focused on imaging technology and its emergence as an integral element of neuroscience investigation.

With an extended community of academicians, researchers, graduate students and technicians, the MRN is uniquely positioned with its national infrastructure to link the brightest minds in neuroscience with some of the most cutting-edge neuroimaging capabilities in the world today.
