We invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher at the Rehab and Neural Engineering Labs (RNEL), University of Pittsburgh. RNEL offers a highly collaborative environment where BCI and neurostimulation groups work together with the mission to improve the quality of life of individuals with neurological impairments.

The postdoctoral researcher will lead a pioneering research to test the efficacy and safety of already existing neurostimulation techniques such as spinal cord stimulation and deep brain stimulation to improve motor and cognitive function for children with Cerebral Palsy.  This role involves:

• Leading first-in-human clinical trials
• Human electrophysiology experiment and computational modeling of neural networks to investigate the neurostimulation mechanisms.

The ideal candidate has a background in Mathematics, Physics, Computational Neuroscience, Neuroengineering or any related field motivated to work in a multidisciplinary team together with  neurosurgeons, physical therapists, neurologists and neuroengineers  to bring new neurostimulation therapies to children.

If any of these ideas sound interesting to you, send me an email with your CV and a short motivation at gep67@pitt.edu. Questions are welcome—don't hesitate to reach out. The position will remain open until it is filled and we will consider all applications that arrive before February 1st.

Thanks!
