<p style="text-align:justify">Dear community, <br>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Please see below the opportunity for a postdoctoral position in my lab. I am currently attending HBM conference in Geneva, so I will be happy to start meeting possible candidates if you are around. <br>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The candidate will join a multidisciplinary team composed of neurologists and methodologists within the
<a href="http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ResearchLabsMFIL/HomePage">Multimodal Functional Imaging Laboratory</a>, directed by Pr. Christophe Grova. The laboratory is actually based on two sites: (i) Physics Dpt at Concordia University and
<a href="http://www.concordia.ca/research/perform.html">PERFORM center</a>, (ii) Biomedical Engineering Dpt and epilepsy group of the Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University. Both environments offer unique platforms with access to several modalities
(simultaneous high-density EEG/fMRI, MEG, simultaneous EEG/NIRS, TMS). The candidate will notably have access to the brand new multimodal imaging platform of PERFORM center, dedicated to neuroscience studies over large cohort of subjects (effect of age, exercising,
...), whereas clinical applications during the presurgical investigation of patients with epilepsy will be primarly based at the Montreal Neurological Institute. The main expertise of the team is the development and the validation of source localization methods
dedicated for EEG, MEG and NIRS as well as multimodal characterization of resting state brain activity.
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br>
</p>
<p><strong><br>
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Project: Multimodal investigation of epileptic activity using simultaneous EEG/MEG and EEG/NIRS acquisitions.</strong></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> The proposed project aims at localizing and characterizing the generators of epileptic activity using simultaneous acquisitions of ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG) with Magneto-EncephaloGraphy (MEG), as well as simultaneous acquisitions of EEG with Near Infra-Red
Spectroscopy (NIRS).<br>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"> While methodological developments in the lab will consist in 3D reconstructions of the generators of EEG, MEG and NIRS signals and assessing multimodal concordances between bioelectrical neuronal
signals and hemodynamic processes, the purpose of this Postdoctoral project will be to assess the
</span><strong style="font-size:12pt">integrity of neurovascular coupling processes at the time of epileptic discharges</strong><span style="font-size:12pt">, using a unique multimodal environment involving EEG/MEG, EEG/NIRS and also EEG/fMRI recordings. Close
collaborations with the epilepsy group of the Montreal Neurological Institute, involving notably Dr E. Kobayashi MD-PhD, Dr F. Dubeau MD-PhD and Dr. J. Gotman PhD, will provide access to patient populations and additional clinical expertise for this project.</span><br>
</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"> </p>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong> The candidate should be an MD (neurologist) with previous training in epileptology and neurophysiology (EEG). Expertise in analyzing MEG or NIRS signals and/or computational skills including neuroimaging softwares are appreciated
additional qualification. The candidate should be fluent in English (and if possible French) due to the patient population studied.</p>
