Multiple
Postdoctoral research positions are available in the Tandon Lab at The
University of Texas in Houston as part of the newly formed Texas Epilepsy
Neurotechnologies and Neuroinformatics (TENN) Institute. Positions are funded
either via multi-year Institute funding or by NIH funds (U01 and R01). The lab
uses multimodal approaches – fMRI, lesional analysis following epilepsy
surgery, intracranial recordings and direct stimulation to create and validate
network level representations of language. Lab Collaborators include Greg
Hickok (UCI), Stanislas Dehaene (NeuroSpin), Nathan Crone (JHU), Simon Fisher Baum
(Rice) and Xaq Pitkow (Rice-Baylor); the post-doc will benefit from a close
interaction with these experts in the fields of reading, semantics, speech
production and computational neuroscience.
The selected
individual must have a Ph.D. in one or more of the following: neuroscience,
psychology, cognitive science, mathematics, electrical engineering or computer
science. Previous experience in neural time series data analysis, functional
imaging studies of language, or studies of speech production are desirable –
but not crucial. They must possess the ability to independently code in any or
all of the following: MATLAB, R or Python.
They are
expected to be highly motivated, team players with a passion to study cognitive
processes using any or all of the various modalities available in the lab –
imaging, direct recordings and closed-loop cortical stimulation – in humans.
Given the multiple unpredictable variables and privacy issues around data
collection in human patients, the individual must possess high ethical and
professional standards and be adaptable. A strong publication record and
excellent academic credentials are highly desirable.
