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.
