Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Kessler Foundation
Ekaterina Dobryakova
Applications are now being accepted for the Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Neuropsychology and Neuroscience at Kessler Foundation.
Two fellowship positions are available, each in a different focus area (1) aging and dementia and (2) multiple sclerosis.
The two-year funded program aims to prepare fellows for a career in clinical research. Training opportunities are provided more broadly across multiple departments, capitalizing on unique opportunities throughout the center as well as other nearby centers of excellence throughout New Jersey to pursue key research goals. All fellows participate in an extensive training curriculum and didactic offerings. Multidisciplinary mentored training opportunities are individually tailored to achieve specific goals considering the fellows’ prior background and interests.
The successful applicant would be expected to assist in ongoing endeavors as well as develop their own mentored research projects. There are opportunities for fellows to join existing programs and research including functional neuroimaging, the assessment and rehabilitation of cognitive symptoms, functional outcomes research, cross-cultural work, and fatigue research. Fellows work on various aspects of research projects ranging from inception (e.g., study formulation, grant-writing, etc.) to manuscript publication. Clinical opportunities involve assessment and treatment of outpatient rehabilitation populations under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. Additional offerings are made possible through strong collaborations with additional centers including, Rutgers University, Veterans Administration New Jersey Healthcare System, and New Jersey Institute of Technology.
