able to conduct advanced fMRI/EEG analysis, including multivariate analysis, dynamic causal modeling and diffusion tensor

imaging analysis. He/she will also have opportunities to collaborate with biochemists and geneticists to integrate metabolic

and genetic processes with neural responses. The University of Wisconsin-Madison offers top-of-the-line imaging facilities

and boasts a strong affective neuroscience community. The position will begin in spring/summer of 2012. Please email a CV,
