| Job specification: | The personal and societal burden associated with cannabis use disorders (CUDs) is in sharp contrast with our limited knowledge of the underlying mechanisms. Moreover, there is growing worldwide concern surrounding the impact of changes in cannabis legalization on CUDs. The goal of this longitudinal neuroimaging study is to identify reliable neurobiological mechanisms in two independent cohorts of individuals with CUD, and test whether cannabis culture moderates these brain-behavior associations.
This project will be a team effort, conducted in close collaboration with the University of Texas Dallas. Together with a PhD student, you will be primary responsible for conducting and managing the fMRI study in Amsterdam, maintaining close contact with the Dallas site. You will have the opportunity to supervise (PhD) students, work with existing neuroimaging data sets and perform different kind of (multimodal) fMRI analysis. Besides research related activity, you will also be involved in teaching, including supervision of student research projects and assistance in addition/neuroscience related courses. |
