A postdoctoral position is available in the Laboratory for
Rehabilitation Neuroscience (lrnlab.org) at the University of Florida.
The laboratory is supported by the National Institutes of Health. Our
main focus is to develop a better understanding of motor systems
neuroscience and treatments for motor disorders in humans.
LRNLAB seeks a candidate for a NIH funded postdoctoral position in motor
neuroscience using functional MRI and diffusion imaging. The specific
focus of the research is to investigate brain degeneration in
Parkinson's disease and dystonia.
QUALIFICATIONS: The candidate should have a Ph.D. in bioengineering,
neuroscience, motor control, psychology, or related field. Experience
in using fMRI and/or diffusion imaging is highly desirable. Experience
with neuroimaging analyses, ability to work with patients with movement
disorders, and/or strong evidence of writing ability will be important.
APPLICATION: Applications must be submitted online at:
http://jobs.ufl.edu/postings/27120 and should include a cover letter,
curriculum vitae, and email address of three references. Please send
inquiries to Dr. David Vaillancourt (vcourt(a)ufl.edu
<mailto:vcourt@ufl.edu>). Applications are encouraged to be submitted
prior to the deadline and they will be reviewed continually up until the
deadline of July 15, 2013.
LABORATORY ENVIRONMENT: The Laboratory for Rehabilitation Neuroscience
is co-directed by Drs. David Vaillancourt and Stephen Coombes. The
laboratory is supported by the National Institutes of Health. Our main
focus is to develop a better understanding of motor systems neuroscience
and treatments for motor disorders in humans. There is 3000 square foot
of space within the laboratory supporting an EEG lab, Pain lab, and
Motor Neuroscience lab. In addition, there is office space dedicated to
the personnel working with the group and dedicated for computing and
printing, software and hardware development, and scientific meetings
amongst collaborators. The laboratory is less than 1 mile from the AMRIS
facility which is located in the McKnight Brain Institute where the 3T
research dedicated Phillips magnet is housed. We also have excellent
collaborations with the Center for Movement Disorders and
Neurorestoration co-directed by Drs. Michael Okun and Kelly Foote.
