[Neuroinfo] POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN NEUROIMAGING

[Xiaosong He]

POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN NEUROIMAGING THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/
SIDNEY KIMMEL MEDICAL COLLEGE, PHILA., PA.
The Department of Neurology at Thomas Jefferson University/Jefferson
Medical College has an opening for a Two-Year Postdoctoral Research
Fellowship in Neuroimaging focusing on both clinical brain mapping and
primary cognitive neuroscience investigations. The emphasis in our
neuroimaging program is on cognitive and behavioral network organization
and plasticity in neurologic disorders such as epilepsy. The lab focuses on
the use of advanced network neuroscience measures to understand seizure
networks and cognitive reorganization in epilepsy, and has had recent
publications in Brian, Neurology, and Epilepsia, with some also prompting
complimentary peer reviews. The lab is part of the Jefferson Comprehensive
Epilepsy Center, an internationally-known epilepsy surgery program.
Presurgical brain mapping studies are undertaken (MRI volumetrics,
task-fMRI, resting state functional connectivity, diffusion imaging,
neuropsychological assessment, electrophysiology/electrocortical
stimulation) as well as post-surgical neuroimaging studies investigating
clinical, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes. The pre-surgical brain
mapping studies are conducted on a regular basis, utilized in image-guided
surgery, and then made available for research. Studies in brain recovery
and the cognitive reorganization of language and memory functions are
emphasized, utilizing rich multi-modal datasets for the investigation of
both cognitive and pathologic (e.g., seizure) networks. Thomas Jefferson
University provides a high-level interdisciplinary research environment
with grand rounds, seminars, case conferences, and opportunities to
collaborate with faculty across departments such as neurosurgery and
radiology. Successful applicants must have a strong background in image
processing and analysis using programs such as MATLAB, SPM, Freesurfer, and
FSL with a strong interest in clinical neuroimaging and cognitive
neuroscience. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or MD in neuroscience,
biomedical engineering, statistics, neurology, neuropsychology, radiology,
or related field. Interested applicants should send a CV and cover letter
stating experience and interests, 2-3 peer-reviewed publications.
Anticipated start date is 7/1/18, but is flexible. Contact: Joseph I.
