POST DOCTORAL Position available at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown, MA: Studying the Neuroscience of Autism Using MEG.

Responsibilities: The position will involve investigating sensory processing, functional connectivity, and other processing abnormalities in autism, using MEG. Our current projects use state of the art approaches for data analysis, and include analyses of coherence, local cross-frequency coupling, graph theory methods, and other approaches to mining MEG data. There is a range of possible projects to choose from within these categories, and new approaches and ideas are welcomed.

The position requires working closely with other members of the Martinos center (in particular Dr. Matti Hamalainen), as well as with other lab members, to develop, explore, improve and apply various data analysis methodologies. Multiple paradigms are routinely used in the lab, each offering opportunities for different approaches and research directions. The position will also involve running the MEG and MRI sessions. Recruitment of subjects is carried out by other members (research coordinators) in the lab. A minimum commitment of two years is required. Salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience. Ideal start date would be summer or fall of 2013.

Requirements: PhD (or prior post-doc experience) in MEG/EEG data analysis/methodology or other signal processing. Background in specific aspects of neuroscience or cognitive science is not required, but is a plus.
