Postdoctoral Fellow Position in The Neural Basis of Aggression

Harvard University

Title Postdoctoral Fellow Position in The Neural Basis of Aggression

School Faculty of Arts and Sciences Department/Area Human Evolutionary Biology Position Description

The Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Evolutionary Neuroscience Laboratory of Dr. Erin Hecht to contribute to an NSF-funded neuroimaging project focused on the neural basis of aggression in humans and other species. Additional projects and training opportunities can be tailored to suit the candidate's goals and interests, and may include comparative human/nonhuman primate neuroimaging, canine neuroimaging with dogs and foxes, histological analyses of fixed brain tissue, and/or behavior and psychological assessments. Available neuroimaging datasets include both in vivo and high-field ex vivo structural MRI and diffusion MRI data from humans, nonhuman primates, and canids. This research is non-invasive.

This is a one-year position, expected to begin in late 2023 or early 2024, with possibility of renewal dependent upon adequate funding and satisfactory performance. The research will take place in the Evolutionary Neuroscience Laboratory directed by Dr. Hecht and located in the Peabody Museum on Harvard University's Cambridge, Massachusetts campus.

Broadly, the Evolutionary Neuroscience Laboratory studies how brains change in response to selection pressure on behavior, and how brains acquire heritable adaptations for complex, learned behaviors. Comparisons between modern humans and our living primate relatives provide a way to address this question in the context of our own evolutionary history, while domestication provides an additional window on brain-behavior evolution. The lab uses a variety of experimental and computational tools, such as structural and functional neuroimaging, histology and digital microscopy, and behavior analysis. The lab's websites are: https:// hechtlab.org/ and https:// caninebrains.org

The Evolutionary Neuroscience Lab is supported by funding from the National Science Foundation and the Sloan Foundation. There will be opportunities for cross-training and interaction with an interdisciplinary research team including neuroscientists, primatologists, geneticists, and animal behavior scientists.

Basic Qualifications

A doctoral degree is required for this position.

Additional Qualifications

Desired qualifications include research in neuroscience, psychology, neuroimaging, histology, and/or animal behavior.

Special Instructions

Please submit a letter of interest, an updated CV, and the names of three references. Evaluation will begin at the time the advertisement is placed and will continue until the position is filled.
