This two-year advanced postdoctoral fellowship supports computational neuroscientists interested in understanding the neural mechanisms underlying psychiatric illnesses. Funded by the Veterans Health Administration, it focuses on using data science to advance research and patient care. The research setting is the Brain Imaging and EEG Lab (BIEEGL), where electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are the major tools for investigating clinical neuroscience questions.
Fellows collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team of neuroscientists, psychologists, and psychiatrists on innovative brain science. The program is associated with the Sierra Pacific Mental Illness Research Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC; VISN 21) and affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco.
