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.
