Postdoctoral position in systems neuroscience, City College of New York
A postdoctoral "Endeavor Scientist" position funded by the Child Mind Institute
(CMI) is available starting this Fall in the lab of Simon Kelly at the City College of
New York. The endeavor scientist will work on basic and clinical projects mainly
using human electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings, under the joint supervision
of Simon Kelly (http://bme.ccny.cuny.edu/people/faculty/skelly) of the
Department of Biomedical Engineering, CCNY and Michael Milham
(http://www.childmind.org/en/directory/clinicians/mmilham) of CMI. The
position will involve analysis of data obtained from clinical and non-clinical
populations at the Child Mind Institute and its collaborators, in addition to
conducting basic studies of perception and cognition in the Kelly lab, particularly
focusing on decision making and attention. A major goal will be to develop novel
paradigms and data analysis approaches that allow neural signals to be linked
with well-defined perceptual/cognitive computations, and to deploy these
paradigms and approaches to studies at CMI. Clinical studies will be mainly in
child and adolescent populations associated with clinically significant anxiety,
attentional dysfunction, emotional dysregulation and learning impairments. Any
innovative tools developed in the course of this position will be made publicly
available.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in neuroscience or related field, including
neural/biomedical engineering, applied mathematics and computer science. The
candidate must have strong analytic/quantitative skills, be proficient in
programming (especially Matlab), and have experience in psychophysics and EEG
recording and analysis. Experience with fMRI is a strong plus, as some projects
may involve a multimodal EEG/fMRI approach. The ideal candidate will be
reliable, highly motivated, and will be equally productive when working
independently
or cooperatively.
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, contact information for three
references, and a cover letter with a brief description of past research
accomplishments as well as future research interests and career goals to Simon
Kelly at skelly2 at ccny.cuny.edu.
