POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITIONS
Multiple Postdoctoral research positions are available in the Tandon Lab at The University of Texas in Houston as part of the newly formed Texas Epilepsy
Neurotechnologies and Neuroinformatics (TENN) Institute. Positions are funded either via multi year Institute funding or by NIH funds (an R01 and a U01). The lab uses multimodal approaches – fMRI, lesional analysis following epilepsy surgery, intracranial
recordings and direct stimulation to create validate network level representations of language. Lab Collaborators include Greg Hickok (UCI), Stanislas Dehaene (NeuroSpin), Nathan Crone (JHU), Simon Fisher Baum (Rice) and Xaq Pitkow (Rice-Baylor); the post-doc
will benefit from a close interaction with these experts in the fields of reading, semantics, speech production and computational neuroscience. The selected individual must have a Ph.D. in one or more of the following: neuroscience, psychology,
cognitive science, mathematics, electrical engineering or computer science. Previous experience in neural time series data analysis, functional imaging studies of language, or studies of speech production are desirable – but not crucial. They must possess
the ability to independently code in any or all of the following: MATLAB, R or python. They are expected to be highly motivated, team players with a passion to study cognitive processes using
any or all of the various modalities available in the lab - imaging, direct recordings and closed-loop cortical stimulation in humans. Given the multiple unpredictable variables and privacy issues around data collection in human patients, the individual must
possess high ethical and professional standards and be adaptable. A strong publication record and excellent academic credentials are highly desirable. CONTACT: More information @ www.tandonlab.org |
