> The position will involve investigating the role of sleep in memory
> consolidation, how these processes go awry in schizophrenia and autism, and
> the efficacy of pharmacological and other interventions.  Our work has
> linked cognitive deficits to a specific heritable mechanism (sleep
> spindles) and we are seeking effective interventions.  In collaboration
> with Dr. Robert Stickgold’s lab at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, we
> are extending and expanding this basic and clinical research program using
> state-of-the art tools including high density EEG (polysomnography), MEG,
> DTI, functional connectivity MRI, fMRI, and behavioral studies.  We are
> seeking someone to participate in these foundation and NIMH-funded
> investigations who is familiar with MEG/EEG methodology and data analysis,
> comfortable with methodological innovation, and is interested in optimizing
> and developing analysis streams tailored to the study aims and
> populations.  New approaches and ideas are encouraged, as are independent
> projects that dovetail with current studies.  The position requires working
> closely with the PI, as well as with Dr. Stickgold, other Martinos Center
> investigators, particularly Dr. Matti Hamalainen, Director of the MEG Core
> Lab, and lab mates to design studies, acquire data, and develop, explore,
> improve and apply data analytic techniques. Training in clinical research
> and in the acquisition, analysis, and interpretation of neuroimaging data
> will be provided.
