FYI
*Postdoctoral fellow, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada*
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellow at the Hospital for
Sick Children, affiliated with the University of Toronto.The role of the
successful applicant will be to develop novel MEG analysis techniques
and apply them to data collected from children with focal epilepsy.The
goals of this research will be to determine if mapping MEG connectivity
dynamics can localize epileptogenic cortex (brain areas that start
seizures), and to investigate how functional networks are altered in
childhood epilepsy and related to cognitive difficulties in this group.
Candidates should hold a PhD in neuroscience, physics, engineering,
psychology or a related field. Prior neuroimaging experience using MEG
and/or MRI is required.Strong data analysis skills, and/or prior
neuroimaging experience with clinical or child populations would be an
asset.
The Hospital for Sick Children offers an excellent training environment
with strong expertise in clinical neuroscience, developmental cognitive
neuroscience, and neuroimaging.MEG studies have been completed in over
1000 children with epilepsy at our institution, and include interictal
recordings and data from numerous functional localization paradigms
(auditory, visual, language). Neuropsychological, clinical,
electrocortocographic and MRI data are also available, presenting an
excellent training opportunity in clinical neuroimaging.This
Postdoctoral position is available for a two-year period, with the
possibility of extension for a third year.The successful applicant will
conduct research primarily under the supervision of Dr. Sam M Doesburg.
Please send all applications, including and CV and covering letter to
