<p class="ydpb4cb6c77yiv5541906627ydp959703a9MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;">A postdoctoral research positions
(2 years) is immediately available at the Northwestern Cognitive Oculomotor
Optimization Laboratory, under the direction of Drs. Daniel Corcos and Fabian
David in the Northwestern Department of Physical Therapy & Human Movement
Sciences. The primary focus of the lab is to understand the mechanism of action
of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in the context of movement
and cognition in patients with Parkinson’s disease. We use a combination of invasive
subthalamic nucleus recordings, non invasive high density EEG, and behavioral
tasks using eye and limb movements in patients with Parkinson’s disease. </p>
<div class="ydpb4cb6c77yiv5541906627ydp959703a9MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;">The successful candidates is
expected to be a team player and collaborate closely with other team members at
Northwestern and with our external collaborators to develop and validate data
acquisition protocols, behavioral testing, advanced image and signal analyses,
and interpretation. The candidate will also be expected to report algorithms
and experimental findings through peer reviewed publications. In addition,
opportunities to develop research proposals under direct mentorship from the PI
will be provided. <br></div><div class="ydpb4cb6c77yiv5541906627ydp959703a9MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><br></div><div class="ydpb4cb6c77yiv5541906627ydp959703a9MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;">Requirements include: 1) an interest in the therapeutic mechanisms
of deep brain stimulation across motor and cognitive networks, 2) A PhD in
Neuroscience, Engineering, Physics, or Data Science, or a related field, 3) Proficiency
in Matlab and/or Python, 4) Experience with electrophysiological signal
analysis (EEG and LFPs) with a strong quantitative and theoretical skill set, and
5) excellent writing skills. The position is open until filled. Interested
applicants can send a NIH style biosketch or CV, a brief statement of interest,
as well as contact information for two references to: Fabian.j.David@northwestern.edu</div>
