[Eeglablist] EEG and Brain Stimulation Postdoctoral Position in Frohlich Lab at UNC-Chapel Hill

[Sankar Alagapan]

We are seeking to fill one postdoctoral position in the Frohlich Lab with a
candidate who has a proven track record of EEG data analysis.

*About this position*: We are collecting high-density EEG from multiple
clinical trials in which we evaluate the effect of non-invasive brain
stimulation on brain network dynamics and behavior. We are looking for a
passionate scientist who is interested in taking charge of the data
analysis (EEG, cognitive tasks, clinical scales) to validate network
targets for brain stimulation in psychiatry and more broadly the
network-level dysfunction of psychiatric disorders such as depression and
schizophrenia. The applicant will be embedded in a vibrant research group
of around 20 scientists and will receive (as needed and desired) training
in transcranial current stimulation, network neuroscience, and clinical
research. The position will include working closely with the study
coordinators who run the clinical trials.

*About the Frohlich Lab*: We seek to revolutionize the fields of psychiatry
and neurology by studying brain network dynamics and applying our
discoveries to the rational design of novel brain stimulation treatments.
Our research integrates neurobiology, engineering, and medicine to
identify, engage, and validate network targets for brain stimulation. We
(1) perform computer modeling, (2) combine electrophysiology, imaging,
brain stimulation, and behavioral assays in animal models, (3) record and
modulate human brain activity, and (4) study new treatments in randomized
controlled clinical trials. This position is aligned with items (3) and (4)
of our mission.

*About UNC at Chapel Hill*: We are a vibrant and nationally top-rated
research institution with a strong track record in (translational)
neuroscience. UNC has been repeatedly ranked as one of the best places to
do a postdoc. Quality of life is very high, cost of living is low.

*About the successful candidate*: You have a PhD in neuroscience (or a
related discipline) and a track record of first class science demonstrated
by first author peer-reviewed scientific articles. Strong background and
experience with human EEG data analysis and Matlab is required. Experience
in source localization and functional connectivity analysis using EEG will
be advantageous.  Experience with clinical trials or working with patient
populations is a plus. Please send your CV and a brief statement of
research interest to flavio_frohlich at med.unc.edu. Also, please have two
letters of recommendation directly submitted to the same email address.
Note: Please only submit an application if your background matches the
required expertise for this position.

We are looking forward to meeting passionate and hard-working applicants
who are ready for this cutting-edge project and for joining the Frohlich
Lab family. Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.
Start date is flexible but the earlier the better. UNC is an equal
opportunity employer.
