_Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Technician Positions in
Neurorehabilitation_
The Neural Plasticity and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory (NPNL) of the
University of Southern California, directed by Dr. Sook-Lei Liew, is now
looking for *(1) a Postdoctoral Fellow* and *(2) a Research Technician*.
The laboratory is devoted to the study of neuroplasticity and motor
learning in healthy individuals and individuals after stroke. The
overall aim is to understand mechanisms of brain plasticity and to apply
this knowledge to the development of novel interventions to enhance
recovery after stroke. The laboratory utilizes behavioral and
non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) or transcranial electric stimulation (tES, including
tDCS, tAS, and tRNS), and neuroimaging (such as functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG)). Research
will also entail working with a number of community and clinical
partners throughout Los Angeles, California. More information about the
NPNL can be found at
http://npnl.usc.edu <http://npnl.usc.edu/>.
The ideal candidate should have, or will soon have, a doctoral degree in
a relevant scientific discipline for the Postdoctoral Fellowship and a
bachelors or masters degree for the Research Technician position. The
successful applicant should be highly motivated, organized, willing to
learn, and possess strong written and verbal communication skills.
Technical knowledge with Matlab and other programming languages (python,
Linux, C++), an understanding of research methodology, and experience
with neuroimaging and/or brain stimulation data acquisition and analysis
is strongly preferred.
Both positions are full-time, one-year (renewable) positions, preferably
with a 2 year commitment, and can start as early as April/May 2015.
For further information about these positions or to apply, please send a
brief cover letter and CV to Sook-Lei Liew, PhD, OTR/L at sliew(a)usc.edu

Thank you.
