    <![CDATA[STAFF SCIENTIST NEUROIMAGING RESEARCH POSITION
SECTION ON INTEGRATIVE NEUROIMAGING
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH, NIH, INTRAMURAL 
RESEARCH PROGRAM, DHHS, BETHESDA, MD

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Intramural Research Program, a major research component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), housed at one of the premier research sites in the U.S., the 300 acre Bethesda campus of the NIH, near Washington D.C. with 
state-of-the-art neuroimaging facilities (MRI, PET and MEG) dedicated to research, is recruiting a senior staff scientist to join the Section on Integrated Neuroimaging. Minimum qualifications are a doctoral degree, post-doctoral training, strong publication record, and demonstrated expertise in analysis (computational and statistical methods) and 
synthesis of neuroimaging data. The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team using neuroimaging to map brain activity as well as genetic and neurochemical mechanisms associated with normal higher cognitive function as well as dysfunction in neuropsychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia, those with genetic sources of cognitive 
dysfunction such as Williams syndrome, and other conditions such as normal aging.  In addition to collaborative work within the team, there is opportunity for outstanding candidates to develop their own projects 
within the Section.  Possible areas of concentration include 1) neurofunctional substrate of higher cognitive function, particularly as regards working memory and frontal lobe, 2) neurofunctional bases of neuropsychiatric illnesses, and 3) neurodevelopmental neuroimaging. Stipends are competitive and depend on level of experience. Applicants with developmental imaging are especially encouraged to apply. 

Send letter of interest outlining experience and research goals, CV, and three letters of recommendation to: Karen F. Berman, M.D.; NIH Building 10, Rm 4C101; 9000 Rockville Pike; Bethesda, MD 20892-1365 USA.  Phone: (301) 496-7603; FAX: (301) 496-7437. E-mail: karen.berman@nih.gov.

DHHS and NIH are Equal Opportunity Employers.
