The Grossman Lab at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking a
motivated and enthusiastic Postdoctoral Research Fellow to contribute to
a range of research projects investigating the neurobiology of language.
Applicants should have completed a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, or
an equivalent field, and have proven technical ability in image analysis
and a demonstrated publication record. This position is funded in part
through a collaborative grant looking at aging and speech comprehension
with Jonathan Peelle (Washington University in Saint Louis) and Art
Wingfield (Brandeis University). We are interested in the neurobiologic
basis of the interaction of acoustic challenges (such as background
noise or hearing loss) and linguistic factors (such as syntactic
complexity or semantic predictability).
The University of Pennsylvania is a leading center in human brain
imaging, with access to advanced MRI and PET imaging. The lab studies
language and cognitive processing in healthy adults, normal aging, and
neurodegenerative disease using converging evidence from multiple
methods. There may also be opportunity for outstanding candidates to
develop new projects and obtain competitive funding based on their own
research interests, in alignment with the goals and interests of the
lab. Philadelphia is an outstanding city with extraordinary cultural
resources.
Primary responsibilities in this position include the analysis,
interpretation, and writing up of functional and structural MRI data
relating to the neural systems supporting speech processing in young and
older adults. Previous experience in all of these areas is helpful, and
the successful candidate will benefit from demonstrated independence in
conducting analyses and interpreting results. Thus essential skills are
motivation, critical thinking, and a strong record of scientific
communication (papers, posters, and talks). Background knowledge in
speech or aging, fMRI data analysis, experience with scripting languages

Post-Doctoral Positions Available
---------------------------------
We are a new lab, headed by Jerry Chen, opening our doors in 2016 in
the Department of Biology at Boston University
SUMMARY:
A longstanding goal in neuroscience is to achieve a complete
understanding of the central nervous system, from the brain as a
whole all the way down to individual neurons and synapses. A
fundamental challenge in achieving this goal is bridging knowledge
gaps impeded by the difficulty in integrating experimental
measurements across different scales. Our lab studies the
relationship between local circuits and long-range networks in the
mammalian neocortex. We take an integrative approach by combining
large-scale in vivo imaging technology with molecular and genetic
tools in the awake-behaving animal.
RESEARCH PROJECTS:
Principles of Long-Range Cortical Communication.
We are investigating how behavior-relevant information is processed
both locally and globally throughout the neocortex. Using the mouse
tactile whisker sensorimotor system as a model for studying
long-range cortical communication during sensory processing and
decision making, we seek to understand the following questions:
- What are the circuits underlying long-range cortical communication?
- What are the physiological mechanisms that subserve such operations?
- What roles do these processes serve during behavior?
Long-Range Cortical Circuits During Development.
We are investigating how genes and development define the
organization and function of long-range cortical circuits. Gaining
a handle on how these circuits form will help us understand the role
they serve during behavior.
Technologies for Large-Scale Imaging of Neuronal Populations.
We recently developed a multi-area two-photon microscope that
enables simultaneous functional imaging with cellular resolution
across cortical areas. We seek to expand on such methods to enable
comprehensive monitoring of neuronal activity across the entire cortex.
QUALIFICATIONS:
We are seeking highly creative individuals who are interested in
pursuing independent projects core to the lab's research interest.
A first author publication (submitted or published) is a
prerequisite for consideration. While experience with in vivo
imaging and rodent behavior and a quantitative background is
desired, we are also interested in individuals with a broad range of
expertise within and outside of neuroscience. You can even be a
mathematician, physicist, engineer, computer scientist, molecular
biologist, artist, or musician. Some examples of potential good
fits include:
- Neurophysiologists with previous experience working with non-human
primates interested in addressing similar questions in rodents.
- Developmental neurobiologists interested in studying how circuit
formation guides circuit function and behavior.
- Computational neuroscientists interested in testing theoretical
models using experimental data acquired in the lab.
- Molecular biologists interested in utilizing molecular and genetic
tools for addressing systems-level questions.
- Optical engineers interested in developing and applying novel
technologies for large-scale recording and stimulation of neuronal
populations.

Ref: 012699
Grade 8/9: £41,255 - £47,801 / £49,230 - £55,389 per annum
Applications are invited for a faculty position in Cognitive Neuroimaging from
individuals with an outstanding research record. The post is designed to complement
existing research strengths in the Institute for Neuroscience and Psychology especially in
the context of high-field MRI applications. MRI facilities available for research include
Siemens 3T Tim-Trio (at the CCNi), Siemens 3T Prisma, and Siemens 7T Terra (by the start
of 2017).
The Post-holder will provide research leadership in the area of functional Brain
Imaging whilst contributing to high quality teaching. The Post-holder will be expected to
raise external funds to support their research programme, to attract postdoctoral research
staff and PhD students, and to contribute to research-led teaching, especially via the
development of specialised content for masters and postgraduate degrees.
The research programme should align with the strategic objectives of the Centre for
Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi) by contributing to the areas of computational, cognitive,
clinical or developmental Neuroimaging especially in the context of high-field MRI
applications (7T-Magnetom Terra, Siemens).
Candidates for this post will have an exceptional international research profile,
including a track record of high impact publications and substantial research funding in
the area of brain imaging.
