<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"ArialMT","sans-serif";color:#333333">A postdoctoral position is available in the Human Cognitive Neurophysiology Group (HCN) in the Department of Neurological Surgery
at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. HCN (Drs. Neimat, van Wouwe, and Kaskan) investigates the neural correlates of cognition in the setting of human intraoperative recording and stimulation performed for the treatment of movement disorders
and epilepsy. Our collaborative group pairs neuroscientists with physicians in a clinical research environment to provide rich opportunities for the novel exploration of brain function. Drs. Neimat and van Wouwe have recently been awarded a multi-site R01
(Louisville and Vanderbilt) entitled: <i>Modulating Inhibitory Action Control Systems with Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) Stimulation</i>. Dr. Kaskan has recently joined the group and is investigating the role of the STN in value-based decision-making.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the biomedical sciences, or a field related to neuroscience. Experience with the collection and analysis of single-unit neural recordings and/or local field potentials (human or animal) is required. Experience programming with MATLAB and familiarity with the
Linux environment is highly encouraged. The best candidates will be experienced neurophysiologists interested in human cognition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"ArialMT","sans-serif";color:#333333">The candidate is expected to be highly motivated, possess excellent presentation and interpersonal skills, an ability to troubleshoot
technical neurophysiological issues, a demonstrated track record of publications and project completion, and the ability to work both independently and with others. Additional responsibilities include: manuscript and grant preparation, literature and manuscript
review, presentations at local seminars and national meetings, and mentoring junior lab members.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"ArialMT","sans-serif";color:#333333">The University of Louisville is a strong research environment and the postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to interact
and collaborate with other departments including the Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center, the Department of Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology, the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, and the JB Speed School of Engineering. The multi-site
grant also provides the opportunity to work with the Neurology Department at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
