*Two Post-Doctoral Fellow Positions Available*

The Cognitive and Neurobiological Approaches to Plasticity (C-NAP)
<http://www.k-state.edu/cnap/> center (http://www.k-state.edu/cnap/) is
seeking two strong candidates for post-doctoral training fellowships for
their new post-doctoral training program to provide a rich collaborative
research environment focused on understanding cognitive and neural
plasticity in humans and animal models.

The post-doctoral fellows will have access to multiple laboratories for an
immersive, collaborative, and interdisciplinary training experience. The
program includes concentrated research training, grant and fellowship
application development, and professional development to prepare the
fellows for transition to faculty positions. Opportunities for training in
