Stanford University (SNAPL) is actively recruiting a postdoctoral fellow who
will join our research project on chronic pain. Funded by the National Institute of Health and
directed by Professor Sean Mackey, in collaboration with an internationally
renowned group of collaborators from the Departments of Computer Sciences,
Sleep Medicine, Genetics, Neurosciences and others, our goal is to develop and
validate objective diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of chronic pain. The
focus of work for this postdoc will be on the neuroimaging of people with
chronic pain using structural and functional MRI techniques.</span></p>

Additionally, you will have access to cutting-edge fMRI technology; to invent
and develop your own related research. Multidisciplinary
aspects of this project will allow you to explore diverse chronic pain topics
ranging from biomarker design for degenerative conditions to heart rate
variability as a simple biomarker for psychological disorders. </span></p>
