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

[David Groppe]

Hi All,
    I apologize for the re-post, but we misstated some of the
requirements for the MD, DO, or MD/PhD fellowship in the ad I
previously posted.  See below for the corrected requirements.
       much thanks,
          -David

A research fellowship is available for work on epilepsy, brain
connectomics and cognitive neuroscience with the Comprehensive
Epilepsy Center at the Hofstra North Shore LIJ School of Medicine, in
Manhasset, NY.  This unique fellowship will fund an MD, DO, or MD/PhD
to serve as a research fellow under the mentorship of a team of
experienced physicians and scientists and to engage in research using
neuroimaging and electrophysiology to improve the diagnosis and
treatment of epilepsy and to further the basic science functional
brain mapping.  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 onset 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:

http://www.feinsteininstitute.org/Feinstein/Laboratory+for+Multimodal+Human+Brain+Mapping

Candidates should meet the following qualifications:
1)  M.D., D.O., or an M.D./Ph.D. degree,
2)  A United States citizen, national, or permanent resident
3) Have graduated from or be currently enrolled in a residency
training program or fellowship.
4) 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.
