The Aging & Brain Health Alliance at Rutgers University-Newark seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow with strong prior training and experience in fMRI, EEG, Polysomnography/Sleep Analyses, Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (including TMS, tACS, Sensory), Neuroimmunology and/or Genetics (including WGS and candidate gene analyses) with an interest in applying those techniques to the study of aging and Alzheimer’s disease prevention. We also welcome applicants with strong prior training in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) who are interested in applying those skills to quantitative analyses of socio-environmental influences on brain health and aging.

Fellows who work in our lab would participate in our NIH-funded study of Pathways to Healthy Aging in African Americans. We have an extensive program of community engagement in the greater Newark area through which we recruit older African Americans into both longitudinal cohort studies and non-pharmacological interventional clinical trials. There will be opportunities for interdisciplinary and international cross-training with our collaborators at other institutions, including UC Irvine (brain imaging and sleep) and the University of Gothenburg, Sweden (neurochemistry of Alzheimer’s pathology).

Qualifications:
1. Strong skills, training and prior hands-on experience in fMRI, EEG, Polysomnography/Sleep Analyses, Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (including TMS, tACS, Sensory), Neuroimmunology and/or Genetics (including WGS and candidate gene analyses), or strong prior training and experience in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as applied to public health.
2. A Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuroscience, Neurobiology, or related field.
3. Rigorous training and experience in bio-statistics and data analysis.
4. Prior experience writing and submitting first-authored English-language academic papers and research grants.

International applicants welcome. Salary will be commensurate with experience and comparable to that of other Rutgers postdoctoral fellows.

1. Email gluck@rutgers.edu with a complete CV, a cover-letter addressing the degree to which you fit all of the desiderata noted above, clarification on your current location and citizenship/visa status, along with a summary of relevant skills, background, future career goals, prior experience, and why you think you are a good fit to our research and lab (please review our web site before applying). Please also include a PDF sample of a submitted or published (or in-press) first-authored English-language paper.
