Postdoctoral Position in the Epilepsy, Cognition, and Development Laboratory (ECDL)

We are seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher to work on a project that seeks to understand the neurophysiologic mechanisms underlying visual recognition and how these mechanisms emerge in human development. 

A background in machine learning analysis is ideal.  A background in electrophysiology and behavioral methods is desirable.  The project will involve collection and analysis of human brain recordings in epilepsy surgery patients, so candidates would ideally be comfortable working in a clinical environment. 

The ideal start date is Feb 2019, but application review will continue until the positions are filled. The position is initially for at least 12 months with the possibility of renewal. Compensation will be competitive, and commensurate with relevant experience. University of Pittsburgh has competitive benefits (including comprehensive medical insurance) and is an equal opportunity employer.

The ECDL is based at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.  There is close collaboration with Marlene Behrmann, Avniel Ghuman, and Pulkit Grover through the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. 

Please send your CV to and provide 3 email addresses for reference to Dr. Taylor Abel abeltj@upmc.edu.
