The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Intramural Research Program (IRP), is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to join the Translational and Clinical Neuroimaging Section in Baltimore, Maryland.

About the position

The fellow will join an interdisciplinary team of scientists and physicians using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging, including task-based functional MRI, resting-state functional connectivity, and MRI-based physiological assessments to investigate the neurobiology of substance use disorders. Research focuses on potential pharmacological treatments, co-occurring psychiatric conditions, and the cognitive and affective processes involved in addiction.

The fellowship offers training in functional MRI within a highly interactive research environment, with a 3 Tesla MRI scanner dedicated to research. The fellow will work closely with the principal investigator and research team and will be encouraged to develop independent research questions and novel lines of inquiry.
