Fwd: Assistant Professorship - University of Tennessee Health Science Center

Applications are invited for an Assistant Professor opening in early 2013, at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Department of Pediatrics- Division of Clinical Neurosciences. The successful applicant will be based at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital Neuroscience Institute, and primarily engaged in neuroscience research projects employing MEG, TMS, High Density EEG and fMRI. Requirements for a successful applicant include spoken and written proficiency in English; a PhD (or equivalent degree) in neuroscience, cognitive sciences or a related field, substantial experience in signal processing (e.g. time-frequency analysis, source estimation techniques and connectivity analysis). Strong computer programming skills (e.g., MATLAB) are also desired. The successful applicant will be presented with research opportunities involving the application of MEG, TMS, HD-EEG and fMRI in both basic (normative) and clinical (extra-operative direct cortical recordings and stimulation mapping) neuroscience projects. In addition, there will also be opportunity to engage in clinical MEG practice, with emphasis on presurgical source localization (identification for the epileptogenic zone and functional mapping) in pediatric epilepsy patients. The applicant may choose to be involved in ongoing projects supported mainly by intramural funds but new projects reflecting his/her interests can be initiated.
