Post doctoral position available for research using a multimodal
approach to investigate brain organization and function at the Hofstra
University-North Shore LIJ School of Medicine in partnership with the
Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. Studies involve surgical
epilepsy patients undergoing intracranial electrophysiological
monitoring for seizure detection and functional electrical stimulation
mapping. Ongoing research projects include:
1) Validation of task-based and resting state fMRI and DTI using
electrical stimulation mapping, electrocorticography and corticocortical
evoked potentials;
2) Investigation of the neuronal dynamics underlying selective attention
and active sensing, language, object identification and auditory stream
analysis;
3) Modulation of neuronal function by direct cortical stimulation and
investigation of the mechanisms of TMS, tDCS and tACS;
4) Prediction of seizure spread using electrophysiological and MRI markers.
Responsibilities will include designing fMRI, ECoG and neurostimulation
experiments and data analysis and the coordination of access to patients
for research studies. Located in Long Island, 10 miles from Manhattan,
there is tremendous opportunity for involvement with collaborative
effort with multiple research groups the area with similar
interests.Candidates should have M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees and have some
background in fMRI, electrophysiology, and/or data analysis (Matlab).
Ideal start date would be between 9/2014-1/2015. For more information

If interested, please submit CV and short statement of interest to Dr.
Ashesh Mehta at amehta(a)nshs.edu <mailto:amehta@nshs.edu> for more
