Postdoctoral Research Associate-Fatigue and Underlying Neurobiology
1 day ago
Classification Title:
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Job Description:
An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available in the Fatigue and Underlying Neurobiology (FUN) Lab, directed by Dr. Agostina Casamento-Moran within the Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology at the University of Florida. The successful candidate will join a dynamic, interdisciplinary team investigating the neurobiological mechanisms of fatigue and post-exertional malaise in Long COVID, ME/CFS, and other syndromes.
The FUN Lab aims to transform our understanding of fatigue, one of the most prevalent yet poorly understood symptoms across the healthcare system, by integrating neuroimaging, psychophysiology, and computational modeling. Our work spans from basic science to clinical/translational neuroscience with humans, and our team includes collaborators from medicine, engineering, and psychology. We are committed to patient-centered science, rigorous methods, and high-impact discoveries.
We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral fellow with expertise in neuroscience, kinesiology, biomedical engineering, or a related field to advance research on the behavioral presentation and neurobiological mechanisms of fatigue. In addition to working collaboratively with the research team and conducting innovative research, the candidate will receive active mentorship and institutional support to develop their independent fellowships/grant proposals to advance their scientific career.
More information about the Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology can be found here:
