(either ECoG, EEG/MEG, or fMRI), programming (Matlab/Python), statistics, and scientific writing. He/she should be comfortable working in a lab where there is interaction with clinical patients. The position is computationally focused, and responsibilities
include analysis of neural, behavioral, and imaging, data using existing scripts (Matlab/Python), further development of analysis scripts, and database mining. Responsibilities will also include assisting with the collection and analysis of data, project management,
assistance with preparing progress reports and grant applications, and helping to present lab findings at conferences and in journals. </span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
