The SCAN Lab at UCLA is seeking a postdoctoral fellow for multiple neuroimaging studies focused on altered sensory development in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders. We are seeking an independent, highly motivated candidate to help manage, analyze, and write up data for these studies with opportunities to start developing their own research program. Ongoing projects include a new R01 focused on longitudinal sensory processing development in children with and without autism; a proof-of-mechanism study testing a candidate drug for sensory over-responsivity, and a cross-species grant examining the neural mechanisms of sensory over-responsivity across humans and mouse models.

Candidates should have a PhD in psychology, neuroscience, or a related field. This is a research-focused position with an emphasis on analyzing and publishing data; however there are opportunities for clinical training as well and Dr. Green is a licensed clinical psychologist who can sign off on clinical hours if needed for psychology licensure. Strong expertise in computational skills and fMRI and/or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are highly preferred, and experience analyzing psychophysiological (heart rate and skin conductance) data are also beneficial.

Interested candidates should email a cover letter, CV, transcripts (unofficial is ok), and name/contact information of three references to Dr. Shulamite Green (shulamite@ucla.edu).
