Postdoctoral researcher position in visual and/or motor brain plasticity

The sensory and motor plasticity lab at Georgetown University (PI: Ella Striem-Amit) is looking for a passionate and dedicated postdoctoral researcher to study brain plasticity in congenital visual and/or motor deprivation.

The SAMP lab explores the balance between innate brain organization and experience-dependent plasticity by studying people born blind or born without hands using behavioral and fMRI state-of-the-art analytical techniques. 

Relevant projects include (but are not limited to) exploring individual differences in brain plasticity and action execution without hands. For more details, see https://samp-lab.facultysite.georgetown.edu/people/opportunities.

A Ph.D. in a relevant field, experience with fMRI data analysis, and strong programming skills are required. Experience with behavioral methods used in visual, multisensory, or motor control is desirable but not a requirement. The position is not limited to US citizens.

The start date is flexible. This position is available for two years and can be extended further based on performance. The lab is located at Washington DC, USA.

To apply, please send your CV and a brief statement of research interests by email to Dr. Ella Striem-Amit (Ella.StriemAmit@georgetown.edu) with the subject line: “post-doc application”.
