The Laboratory for Intelligent Imaging and Neural Computing (LIINC) directed by Prof. Paul Sajda at Columbia University has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist (Fellow) to participate in a project focused on building and characterizing an integrated closed-loop multimodal neuroimaging and neurostimulation system for use in humans. This is a joint project with the Medical University of South Carolina (Profs. Truman Brown and Mark George ) where we are building an EEG/fMRI/TMS instrument capable of real-time and on-line neurostimulation and imaging. Our long term goal is to use the instrument for both basic science and clinical applications. The successful applicant will be involved in both developing and testing the instrument as well as conducting novel scientific experiments and clinical studies.

Applicants should have a background in several of the following area: Recording and analysis of simultaneous EEG and fMRI , real-time signal processing, recording and analysis of simultaneous EEG and TMS, instrumentation (digital and analog electronics), machine learning. A Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or Neuroscience is preferred.

LIINC (liinc.bme.columbia.edu http://liinc.bme.columbia.edu/) is within the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University. We are part of a dynamic and vibrant neuroengineering environment which includes the Center for Neuroengineering and Computation (cnec.columbia.edu http://cnec.columbia.edu/) the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute (zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu http://zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/) and the Data Sciences Institute (dsi.columbia.edu http://dsi.columbia.edu/).

Interested candidates should send via email their CV, three representative papers, the names of three references, and cover letter to Prof. Paul Sajda (psajda@columbia.edu).

The position is for one year, with the option to renew for 2-3 years, given satisfactory performance and available funding. The position is available immediately and applicants will be considered on a rolling basis.
