Thanks and all the best, Lucia

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN ELECTROCORTICOGRAPHY RESEARCH AT NYU 

NYU School of Medicine has an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to conduct Human intracranial EEG and electrocortigoraphy (ECoG) research. The postdoctoral researcher will work with the clinical neurology team to 

conduct neurophysiological research in surgical patients undergoing treatment for refractory epilepsy implanted with intracranial electrodes (surface, depth). Research approaches will include both recording and stimulation.

The postdoctoral fellow will be a member of a collaborative team that includes Lucia Melloni (NYU and Max Planck Institute, Frankfurt), Adeen Flinker (NYU), Charan Ranganath (UC Davis), Sam Gershman (Harvard), Ken Norman & Uri Hasson (Princeton), and Jeff Zacks (Washington University). The goal of the research studies will be to use real-time measures of brain activity to investigate how cortico-hippocampal interactions support event segmentation, schema formation, and memory for complex events. 

The ideal applicant must have a Ph.D. in neuroscience, psychology, biomedical engineering, or a related field. Proficiency in oral and written English is mandatory. A solid background in programming, statistics, and scientific writing is required. The candidate is expected to be able to work independently, to enjoy interacting within an interdisciplinary team, and to have a track-record of peer-reviewed publications. Previous experience with human electrophysiology or machine learning will be an asset. Start date is negotiable. Interested individuals should send an email to lucia.melloni@nyumc.org, including a cover letter describing research experience and qualifications, an academic CV, and contact information of referees.
