Subject: [AUDITORY] Open Research Assistant Position: Speech, Language, and Cognition using Intracranial Recordings at Duke University From: Gregory Cogan <gcogan@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2019 18:02:34 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--000000000000def5ee0598c09377 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The Cogan Lab (PI: Gregory Cogan) at Duke University is seeking a research assistant to start ASAP (late 2019/Early 2020). Research in the lab focuses on understanding the neural computations that underlie speech, language, and cognition. We use a combination of invasive recordings in adult and pediatric epilepsy patients: stereo-electroencephalography - SEEG, and electrocorticography =E2=80=93 EC= oG, and non-invasive recordings in healthy participants: electroencephalography =E2= =80=93 EEG. We also collaborate closely with the Viventi Lab ( viventi.pratt.duke.edu - Department of Biomedical Engineering) to develop high density/channel count micro-electroencephalography (=C2=B5ECoG - < 2 m= m spacing, up to 1024 channels) to record from functional neurosurgery patients (e.g. epilepsy, movement disorders, tumor patients) to better understand the micro-scale of human cognition. See the lab website for more information: http://www.coganlab.org Responsibilities include subject recruitment, data collection (including interacting with patients), data management, data analysis, helping to write papers for publication, and general administrivia. Working on weekends will also sometimes be necessary (with overtime pay). The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic about a career in science/medicine/engineering, self-motivated, independent, creative, and have interest in speech/language, and/or cognitive/systems neuroscience. They will also have great interpersonal skills and a strong willingness to learn. Candidates must have an undergraduate degree in a related field (e.g. Neuroscience, Psychology, Engineering, Biology, etc.), and experience with programming in Matlab and/or Python. Duke University is an excellent and highly interdisciplinary place for research. Collaborators span multiple departments/institutes including the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences, the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychology and Neuroscience, Neurology, and Biomedical Engineering. The position is open until filled. Interested applicants can send a CV, a brief statement of interest, as well as contact information for two references to: gregory [dot] cogan [at] duke [dot] edu --000000000000def5ee0598c09377 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><p style=3D"margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:13= px;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:ini= tial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:in= itial"><span style=3D"margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:11pt;font= -family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">The Cogan Lab (PI: Gregory Cogan) at = Duke University is seeking a research assistant to start ASAP (late 2019/Ea= rly 2020).</span></p><p style=3D"margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-siz= e:13px;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size= :initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-cli= p:initial"><span style=3D"margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:11pt;= font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black"><br></span></p><p style=3D"margin= :0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:13px;background-image:initial;backgro= und-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;back= ground-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><span style=3D"margin:0px;pa= dding:0px;border:0px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blac= k">Research in the lab focuses on understanding the neural computations tha= t underlie speech, language, and cognition.
