Employer Cleveland Clinic-Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health Location Las Vegas, Nevada Principal Investigator Please send your CV to Sarah Banks, bank...@ccf.org and Ryan Walsh, wal...@ccf.org. Description The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, Nevada is looking for an outstanding postdoctoral researcher to join the team as soon as possible. The researcher will work with two clinical and translational researchers, Ryan R. Walsh and Sarah Banks, on a recently awarded NIH grant (duration of funds: five years) assessing the neuropsychological and neuroimaging correlates of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. The study utilizes cutting-edge neuroimaging and analytic techniques involving both MRI and PET to assess cross-sectional and longitudinal patterns of cognitive disruption and neuroimaging changes in these patients. As part of the funding mechanism, the researcher will also collaborate with Jeff Cummings, and there is potential for collaboration with another five-year, fully funded project involving multi-modal MRI imaging in Parkinson’s disease, as well as experts in fMRI and PET both at the Cleveland Clinic and other institutions. The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health is developing an excellent research team, featuring accessible, affable clinician-scientists in neurology and neuropsychology—a multidisciplinary team, in a small and specialized environment. It has state-of-the-art scanning technology, and a robust neuroimaging core led by Dietmar Cordes, a dedicated MR physicist and his team of research engineers, physicists, and mathematicians. This position will be excellent for anyone who has recently graduated and is looking to rapidly build his or her academic career in a position with no immediate need to obtain external funding. Requirements The ideal candidate will hold a Ph.D. in neuroscience, psychology, or similar field and have an interest in and experience with neurodegenerative disease, cognition, and neuroimaging. He or she will enjoy working in a multidisciplinary team, be productive, and enjoy contributing to every stage of data collection, analysis, and presentation. He or she will hit the ground running, working on existing data sets to answer research questions related to those posed in the grant, and also develop their own projects. Once sufficient data has been accrued from the grant projects, prospective data analysis and manuscript preparation will account for much of the researcher’s time. As such, great communication and writing skills, in addition to statistical knowledge and ability, will be important. -- Emily J Rogalski, PhD Associate Professor Northwestern University Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center (CNADC) 320 E Superior Street Searle Building 11th Floor Chicago, IL 60611 312-503-1155 phone 312-908-8789 fax erogal...@gmail.com
