Description
This two-year advanced fellowship, funded by the Veterans Health Administration and affiliated with UCSF, focuses on using data science to advance neuropsychiatric research and patient care. It is associated with the Sierra Pacific Mental Illness Research Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC; VISN 21), with research based in the Brain Imaging and EEG Lab (BIEEGL).
The lab seeks postdoctoral computational neuroscientists interested in innovative brain science and the neural mechanisms underlying psychiatric illnesses. Its principal research tools are electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Fellows have opportunities to collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team of neuroscientists, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
