Postdoctoral Fellow in Translational Neurocircuitry, Neuroimaging, and Neuromodulation (Psychiatry/Neuroscience) University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in United States

The Translational Neurocircuitry and Neuromodulation Laboratory (TNNLab) at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston) is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join their team in the Louis A. Faillace, MD Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at McGovern Medical School. The lab focuses on cross-species, multimodal neuroimaging and neuromodulation to study the neural circuitry underlying psychiatric disorders, with a particular emphasis on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and stress-related psychopathology.

Current research projects integrate non-human primate tract-tracing, advanced human neuroimaging techniques (including fMRI, dMRI, fNIRS, EEG), computational modeling, machine learning, and real-time fMRI neurofeedback. The goal is to develop circuit-based biomarkers and precision interventions for psychiatric disorders. The postdoctoral fellow will play a central role in experimental design, data acquisition, analysis, manuscript preparation, and supporting grant writing, with opportunities to develop independent research directions and funding applications.

Applicants should have a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, biomedical engineering, or a related field, with experience in neuroimaging, computational modeling, and machine learning highly desirable. The position offers a comprehensive benefits package as per UTHealth Houston policies. Interested candidates should email a cover letter describing their research interests, motivation, and career goals, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to Dr. Lucas Trambaiolli ([email protected]).
