The Department of Neurology in collaboration with the UC Davis Alzheimer’s Disease Center is pleased to announce a call for post-doctoral applicants for an “aging and dementia in diverse populations” fellowship.  The aim of this fellowship is to develop a program of neuroscience research focused on the use of neuroimaging, cognitive testing and serum biomarkers that aims to understand the biological under pinning of the aging brain as it relates to the pattern of normal cognition across the spectrum of human brain aging in ethnically and racially diverse communities.  The fellowship is expected to develop expertise for successful research careers in cognitive aging.

Individuals who have successfully completed a PhD or MD/PhD program are eligible to apply. Fellows will be selected based on academic qualifications, career goals, and expertise. The fellowship is designed as a three year intensive research program.  Successful applicants are required to make at least a two year commitment which includes the proposed research and training necessary for transition into independent research career advancement.
