POST-DOCTORAL
FELLOWSHIP
IN
CLINICAL NEUROIMAGING
THOMAS
JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/ JEFFERSON
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 Clinical
Neuroimaging focusing on both clinical brain mapping and
primary cognitive neuroscience investigations. The emphasis in
our neuroimaging program is on cognitive and behavioral
reorganization/plasticity following brain surgery for
epilepsy, tumors, and other neurological conditions.
Presurgical brain mapping studies are undertaken (MRI
volumetrics, task-fMRI, resting state, diffusion imaging,
electrocortical stimulation, neuropsychological assessment) 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 brain surgery, and then made
available for research. Studies in brain recovery and the
cognitive reorganization of language and memory functions are
emphasized, along with projects in electrophysiology and brain
stimulation, yielding rich multi-modal datasets for the
investigation of both cognitive and seizure networks. Thomas
Jefferson University provides a interdisciplinary environment
with grand rounds, seminars, case conferences, and
opportunities to collaborate with faculty across departments
such as neurosurgery. Successful applicant will have a strong
background in image processing (e.g., MATLAB, SPM, FSL) with a
strong interest in clinical neuroimaging and cognitive
neuroscience. Applicants must have a MD or PHD in
neuroscience, biophysics, biomedical engineering, statistics,
neuropsychology, or related field. Interested applicants
should send a CV and cover letter stating experience and
interests, and three letters of recommendation. Anticipated
start date is the summer of 2015. Contact: Joseph I. Tracy,
