MRRI is a vibrant collaborative research community focusing on cognitive neuroscience and cognitive rehabilitation. In addition to primary research with Dr. Buxbaum, the post provides opportunities to collaborate with Drs. Myrna Schwartz, Steve Jax, and Dan Mirman, as well as researchers at University of Pennsylvania including Dr. Branch Coslett. Training will be provided in voxel based lesion-symptom mapping, TMS and tDCS, and functional neuroimaging.
