The Neurocognitive and Behavioral Development Laboratory within the Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology at the University of Florida is seeking 1-2 Ph.D. graduate students to begin in fall 2023. The students will work on NIH funded research projects to examine the cerebellar and basal ganglia related neurodegeneration in middle-to-older aged autistic adults. The research projects are conducted through the collaborative effort of the Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology (http://hhp.ufl.edu/about/departments/apk/), the UF Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (http://card.ufl.edu/), the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases (https://fixel.ufhealth.org/), and the UF Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) Human Imaging Core (https://www.ctsi.ufl.edu/research/laboratory-services/human-imaging-core/). This graduate training opportunity provides ample research experience focused on autism spectrum disorder, neuromotor control, cognitive neuroscience, and brain imaging.
The position responsibilities include task administration (including cognitive, sensorimotor, clinical assessments and MRI testing), data analysis, manuscript preparation, conference presentation, and planning future studies.
Candidates will have a BA or BS in Psychology, Neuroscience, Kinesiology, Health Science, or a related pre-health field. The candidate must possess excellent verbal and written communication skills, be strongly motivated, persistent, and work well in a team setting. Experience with computer programming is a plus (MATLAB or LabView). The candidate shall contact Dr. Zheng Wang (zheng.wang@ufl.edu) directly with a brief email and CV (including transcript, GPA, and GRE scores if applicable) before applying to the graduate school.
