*POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP*
*IN NEUROIMAGING *
*THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/ SIDNEY KIMMEL *
*MEDICAL** COLLEGE, PHILA., PA.*
The Department of Neurology at Thomas Jefferson University/Jefferson
Medical College has an opening for a Two-Year Postdoctoral Research
Fellowship in Neuroimaging focusing on both clinical brain mapping and
primary cognitive neuroscience investigations. The emphasis in our
neuroimaging program is on cognitive and behavioral network organization
and plasticity in neurologic disorders such as epilepsy. The lab is part of
the Jefferson Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, an internationally-known
epilepsy surgery program. Presurgical brain mapping studies are undertaken
(MRI volumetrics, task-fMRI, resting state functional connectivity,
diffusion imaging, neuropsychological assessment,
electrophysiology/electrocortical stimulation) as well as post-surgical
neuroimaging studies investigating clinical, cognitive, and behavioral
outcomes. The pre-surgical brain mapping studies are conducted on a regular
basis, utilized in image-guided surgery, and then made available for
research. Studies in brain recovery and the cognitive reorganization of
language and memory functions are emphasized, utilizing rich multi-modal
datasets for the investigation of both cognitive and pathologic (e.g.,
seizure) networks. Thomas Jefferson University provides a high-level
interdisciplinary research environment with grand rounds, seminars, case
conferences, and opportunities to collaborate with faculty across
departments such as neurosurgery and radiology. Successful applicants must
have a strong background in image processing and analysis using programs
such as MATLAB, SPM, and FSL with a strong interest in clinical
neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience. Applicants must have a PHD or MD
in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, statistics, neurology,
neuropsychology, radiology, or related field. Interested applicants should
send a CV and cover letter stating experience and interests, 2-3
peer-reviewed publications, and three letters of recommendation.
Anticipated start date is 7/1/18, but is flexible. *Contact: Joseph I.
