<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Research Center at Cook Children's Health Care System, located in Fort Worth/Dallas metropolitan area, invites motivated applicants for four full-time postdoctoral positions, one data analyst,
and two research assistants. The successful candidates will carry out translational research studies on human brain development by combining findings from different neuroimaging techniques, such as magnetoencephalography (MEG), high-density electroencephalography
(HD-EEG), intracranial EEG (iEEG), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Cook Children’s Hospital Research Center: The philosophy of our newly-founded research center is to ethically facilitate novel treatments for the benefit of children with neurological disorders.
The center is directed by Dr. Christos Papadelis, PhD, and brings basic and translational neuroscience power into a large clinical program focused on epilepsy, cerebral palsy, stroke, rehabilitation, and pain management. The center is supported by a strong-team
of clinicians who offer pioneer treatments for children with epilepsy and movement disorders. The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art neuroimaging tools, including a whole head 306 channels Elekta Neuromag TRIUX system, a 256-channel HD-EEG system,
a TMS system, and a 3 Tesla MRI scanner.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
