Neuroimaging science is a critical tool for translational research in psychiatry
and neuroscience. The Training Program in Neuroimaging Sciences (T-PINS) at Emory University
and the Georgia Institute of Technology provides training for postdoctoral
fellows in basic methods of imaging sciences, as well as topics in basic and clinical
neuroscience relevant to mental illness and health. Training is focused on:
1) psychiatrists (and behaviorally oriented neurologists) who have completed
at least three years of clinical residency; 2) individuals with a
Ph.D. degree in basic science or other relevant fields (see eligibility).
Training includes the didactic course Neuroimaging Sciences in Mental Health,
and coursework in neuroscience, statistics, imaging science, psychology, and
psychopathology. Fellows carry out an independent imaging research project with
mentorship from a faculty member.
The considerable resources at Emory and Georgia Tech,
contribute to the training experience. Thirty faculty members in the program
come from basic and clinical science backgrounds at Emory and Georgia Tech. The training program involves two years
of training. There are positions for two postdoctoral fellows at any one time.
Laboratory training is offered in biomedical engineering,
neuroengineering, statistics, chemistry, physics, computer sciences, cognition,
and neuroscience. Clinical research training is offered in imaging techniques (PET, MRI,
fMRI, spectroscopy) with applications to mental health.
