The Systems Neuroscience and Pain Laboratory at Stanford University is currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral fellow for neuroimaging research in chronic pain.  Funded by NIH (co-PIs Sean Mackey, Gary Glover), this project's overall goal is to characterize pain mechanisms in humans and to develop objective biomarkers of chronic pain. We will be specifically characterizing central sensitization and descending modulation utilizing novel simultaneous neuroimaging technology for spinal cord, brainstem, and brain.  The successful candidate will have unique opportunity to engage in simultaneous spinal cord/brain fMRI and to advance spinal cord fMRI acquisition/analysis and biomarker development.  Research plans include: Study of functional connectivity between spinal cord and brain Characterization of corticospinal pain signature Physiological noise modeling in spinal cord Refinement of multiecho spinal cord acquisition and analysis pipeline. Applicants should hold a PhD and experience conducting fMRI studies and analysis.  Previous experience in spinal cord imaging research is an advantage. The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for designing experiments, conducting ongoing imaging, analyzing neuroimaging data, planning future studies, searching literature, and writing for publication.  The fellow will have opportunity to work within a large group of interdisciplinary Stanford researchers involved with multiple studies ongoing of chronic pain.  Additionally, we have a long track record of successfully helping postdoctoral fellows transition to independent grant funding and faculty positions.  The Pain Division also has an NIH T32 training program.  More information can be found at http://snapl.stanford.edu To apply, follow instructions on this website http://med.stanford.edu/pain/snapl/research-positions/postdoc-openings.html#spinal_cord_brainfmri with reference to “Spinal Cord/Brain fMRI postdoc” in your application.

The position is split as 30% clinical effort and 70% research effort based on a funded project titled “ Identifying Optimal Targets for Misophonia Interventions. ” The project is a REAM foundation grant supporting a new line of research that compares neural signatures of misophonia (i.e., intense anger, anxiety, and other emotional responses to certain sounds) and clinical emotional dysregulation using neurostimulation and behavioral methods in order to identify targets for personalized intervention development. This project brings together a multidisciplinary team that includes clinical psychology, neuroscience, neurology, cognitive psychology, and statistics to tackle questions about the neural bases of misophonia and emotional dysregulation. The study will be integrated within the newly launched Duke Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation (CMER) directed by Dr. Rosenthal, which will provided additional opportunities for interdisciplinary learning and collaboration. The clinical portion of the position will be supported by the School of Medicine and will involve active training in contemporary evidence based treatments including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

Neacsiu and Rosenthal. The fellow’s specific responsibilities will be: To interface with the Regulatory Coordinator and the CMER center in recruiting and screening participants To conduct structured assessments for the study that include diagnostic interviews, examinations of Misophonia, and personalization of stimuli to be used during the experimental procedures (under the supervision of Drs. Neacsiu and Rosenthal) To interface with the Brain Imaging and Analysis Center to collect neuroimaging data To supervise a small group of undergraduate students in data entry, management, and cleaning To be actively involved in publications at the intersection of neuroimaging, neurostimulation, and emotion regulation treatment development As a Clinical Associate, the Fellow will have the opportunity to provide psychotherapy services under the supervision of a licensed psychologist within the department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. The emphasis of the clinical practice will be determined based on interests and training goals, and it may include gaining clinical experience across the range of services and programs that are offered at Duke, including as a participant on multidisciplinary teams. A strength of the Duke program is the opportunity to learn or gain in depth experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) a treatment that was developed for emotional dysregulation and difficult to treat problems. Additional opportunities in multicultural care, trauma-informed therapies, behavioral activation, and other contemporary CBTs are also available. To apply, please submit a cover letter describing your interest in this position and relevant experience, a CV or NIH-formatted biosketch, and a list of 3 professional references with email and phone contact information to Andrada D.
