We are seeking a postdoctoral associate who will join a consortium of leading addiction

researchers to work on an exceptionally large neuroimaging-genetics project. ENIGMA-

Addiction (http://www.enigmaaddiction.com) performs secondary analyses on datasets

contributed by labs from over the world. The uniquely large sample sizes with multi-

modal neuroimaging data enable numerous in-depth investigations of the neurobiology of

drug dependence. The successful applicant will join a vibrant lab with considerable

experience working with large datasets. We host a T32 trainee grant that focuses on

applying machine learning analytic techniques to large neuroimaging-genetic datasets,

and we are a member of the ABCD and IMAGEN consortia. The successful applicant

will be able to conduct novel and robust analyses encompassing genetics, neuroimaging

and behavioral measures focused on understanding the neurobiology of drug use and

dependence.

Candidates must have completed doctoral training in psychology, neuroscience,

bioinformatics, or a related discipline. Experience with neuroimaging genetics research

desired. Programming experience (MATLAB, Python, R, etc.) will be highly valuable but

is not a prerequisite. As a Post-Doctoral researcher, the candidate will be responsible for

neuroimaging and/or genetic data analyses on projects designed by the candidate

themselves. Duration of appointment is 1 year. Stipends will be approx. $53,760,

depending on previous post-doctoral experience.

The University of Vermont is a premier small research university and is based in

Burlington Vermont, a town that is perennially ranked as one of the USA’s most livable

small cities known for its healthy lifestyle, music and food scenes. Interested applicants

should contact Hugh.Garavan@uvm.edu and msmackey@uvm.edu for informal

inquiries.
