[FieldTrip] MD, DO, or MD/PhD fellowship in epilepsy, brain connectomics, and cognitive neuroscience

[David Groppe]

Fellowship available for work on epilepsy, brain connectomics, and
cognitive neuroscience with the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center of the
North Shore-LIJ Health System, NY, USA.  This unique fellowship will
fund an MD, DO, or MD/PhD to serve as a clinical fellow treating
epilepsy patients under the mentorship of a team of experienced
epileptologists and to engage in research using neuroimaging and
electrophysiology to improve the diagnosis of epilepsy and to further
the basic science of human brain function.  More specifically, ongoing
research projects include:
(1) Validation of task-based and resting state fMRI and DTI measures
of brain connectivity using electrical stimulation mapping and ECoG
(2) Identifying areas of seizure genesis and spread using network
analysis of fMRI and ECoG dynamics
(3) Investigation of the neuronal dynamics underlying selective
attention, language comprehension, visual object identification and
auditory stream analysis.

For a more detailed description about the lab and representative
publications see:

Candidates should meet the following qualifications:
1)  M.D., D.O., or an M.D./Ph.D. degree,
2)  Have graduated from or be currently enrolled in a New York state
medical school, residency training program or fellowship.
3) Have some background in fMRI, electrophysiology, and/or data
analysis using one or more of the following software packages: Matlab,
FreeSurfer, FSL, AFNI

This is a great opportunity for a physician-scientist to develop both
as a clinician and researcher.  An ideal candidate would be a
neurologist, neurosurgeon or neuroradiologist with an interest in
epilepsy, functional neurosurgery or functional brain mapping.  This
fellowship is part of the New York State ECRIP program, which offers a
competitive salary and an opportunity to supplement income with
clinical work.  Please submit CV and short statement of interest to
Dr. Ashesh Mehta at amehta at nshs.edu for more information.
