Subject: Postdoctoral Fellowship in Modeling and Neuroimaging of Auditory From: FATIMA HUSAIN <fthusain(at)HELIX.NIH.GOV> Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 10:39:15 -0500There is an opening in our lab (under the supervision of Dr. Horwitz). I will be around at this year's ARO if someone wants to talk to me about it. Fatima T.

PET, fMRI and MEG facilities are available to implement and test hypotheses derived from the modeling. Several areas of research are possible, depending on the background and interests of the fellow, including (1) extending methods such structural equation modeling (path analysis) to deal with fMRI designs and to improve the use of this method for network analysis; (2) extending a large-scale neurobiologically realistic computational model with the goal of understanding the relation between functional neuroimaging data and the underlying electrophysiological behavior of multiple interconnected neuronal populations. Our experimental studies are aimed toward understanding the neural bases of auditory and language function. All fellows in our section do both modeling and experimental studies designed to test our models. See http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/research/scientists/horwitzb.asp for more information as to the type of research performed in our laboratory. Knowledge of neural modeling or statistical techniques, and programming experience are required. PhD or MD degree required. The position is in the Brain Imaging and Modeling Section, Voice, Speech and Language Branch, NIDCD, NIH, Bethesda, MD USA.
