The Minnesota Neuroimaging Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is currently open for applications!  Apply now or share this opportunity with those who would be interested in a career in the neuroimaging field.

Each fellow will receive a stipend starting at $61,008 and support for travel, tuition, and health care for a two-year fellowship experience working in a neuroimaging laboratory at the University of Minnesota. The recipients primary research will be conducted on a multi-disciplinary project that combines their background with another field with the express goal of developing new neuroimaging technologies. Once recipients are selected, they will be matched with two neuroimaging mentors of over forty faculty affiliated with the NIH training grant. We highly encourage candidates to reach out to these potential mentors and establish connections before the review process begins.

A major goal for this fellowship is to increase diversity in neuroimaging and train future researchers within the neuroimaging field. The aim is to provide recipients with multidisciplinary skills in neuroimaging technology, development in advanced biomedical applications, guidance in career development, and social/networking support through this intensive program.

The program is looking for up to two new trainees; accepting applications on a rolling basis, with the potential for a start date as soon as July 1st.  Apply Now!
