[Eeglablist] Postdoc Position for Human Intracranial EEG Lab

[Winfield, Jalen]

Dear all,
Postdoc position available in the human intracranial EEG (iEEG, ECoG) Laboratory for Human Brain Mapping at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research - Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine, NY, USA.

The lab studies neuronal dynamics underlying cognitive processes such as selective attention and active sensing, interoception, memory, and auditory stream and speech processing using iEEG recordings surgical epilepsy patients. Besides iEEG recordings we also use invasive and non-invasive electrical stimulation, eye tracking, single unit recordings, recording of other physiological signals (i.e., EKG, breathing), and functional and anatomical imaging. This postdoc position is part of a large, recently funded NIH multi-center project to investigate the functional role of slow fluctuating cortical activity. These slow fluctuations are a ubiquitous and fascinating feature of brain activity and are thought to play a crucial role in many cognitive functions from attention, interoception, state switching, etc. The position is funded for 4-5 years (less is ok), with expected start date as soon as possible. This is an extremely collaborative project among a large amount (>25 PIs) of international leaders in the field using scalp EEG, fMRI, iEEG, and single unit recordings in humans and animal models, electrical stimulation, and computational modeling. The candidate will have ample opportunities to work closely with these collaborators.



Qualifications:

  *   PhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, psychology, or related field
  *   Programming (Matlab or Python) experience
  *   Solid background in signal processing (EEG/MEG or iEEG)
  *   Solid background in statistics
  *   Solid background in scientific writing
  *   Supervision/mentoring of research assistants and students is encouraged



Application: Interested candidate should send CV, names and contact info of 2-3 references, and any questions to Stephan Bickel, MD PhD (sbickel at northwell.edu<mailto:sbickel at northwell.edu>)
