Title Postdoctoral Fellow in Imaging Approaches to Measuring Brain Energetics
School Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Department/Area Human Evolutionary Biology
Position Description
We seek a postdoctoral research associate to work with Professor Christopher Kuzawa at Harvard University on a study that will validate and implement imaging-based proxies for brain energy expenditure, to be used to characterize the energetic costs of the brain across human development (recently shown to account for 66% of resting expenditure in childhood). Eventual uses include characterizing individual and population variation in brain energy use, the experiential drivers of that variation, and possible impacts on downstream traits including growth patterns, body composition and critical periods in cognitive development. The associate will work with and liaise between collaborators in the Departments of Human Evolutionary Biology (Harvard/Cam...
