[visionlist] Postdoc positions at UC Irvine

[Liz Chrastil]

Dr. Liz Chrastil, PI of the Spatial Neuroscience Laboratory in the
Department of Neurobiology & Behavior at the University of California,
Irvine, is seeking one or more postdoctoral researchers for the coming
year. The Spatial Neuroscience Lab is funded by NIH and NSF, and uses
dynamic and interdisciplinary research methods to answer questions about
how the human brain processes information to keep us oriented as we
navigate through a complicated world. In addition to navigation, our
research is deeply connected to the fields of learning, memory, and
decision making, with aging, clinical, and translational applications. Our
primary techniques are fully immersive virtual reality (VR) and human brain
imaging using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (structural MRI, fMRI,
diffusion imaging, resting state) and electroencephalography (EEG).

We are seeking highly creative and motivated researchers for postdoc
positions in the following areas:
1) Individual differences in navigational ability, with a focus on
multimodal imaging techniques. We have large deep phenotyping datasets of
multiple navigation tasks, as well as episodic memory and other cognitive
function, which include corresponding anatomical (cortical thickness,
hippocampal subfields, diffusion weighted imaging) and functional (resting
state, grid-cell like neural correlates) imaging.
2) Navigation abilities across the adult lifespan, working with similar
datasets across age groups, with an emphasis on sex differences and the
role of sex hormones.
3) Behavioral and/or fMRI investigations of cognitive mapping compared to
graph-like topologies, including spatial and abstract graphs of relational
information and abstract distance coding.
