Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Neuroimaging of Epilepsy
POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
IN THE NEUROIMAGING OF EPILEPSY
FARBER INSTITUTE FOR NEUROSCIENCE/THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY, PHILADELPHIA, PA.
The Department of Neurology at Thomas Jefferson University/Farber Institute for Neuroscience has an opening for a Two-Year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Neuroimaging focusing on cognitive and epileptogenic network neuroscience investigations in epilepsy. The emphasis in our neuroimaging program is on the adaptive and maladaptive network organization and plasticity features characteristic of 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 Brain, Neurology, and Epilepsia. The Fellowship is partially funded by an NIH R01 grant. The lab is part of the Jefferson Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, a large internationally-known epilepsy surgery program which partakes in numerous national and international collaborations. Presurgical brain mapping studies are undertaken (MRI volumetrics, PET, task-fMRI, resting state functional connectivity, diffusion imaging, neuropsychological assessment), as well as post-surgical neuroimaging studies investigating clinical, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes. The pre-surgical brain mapping studies are utilized in image-guided procedures (resection, thermal ablation, SEEG, brain stimulation) and then made available for research. Studies in brain recovery and the cognitive reorganization of language, memory, and psychiatric functions are emphasized, utilizing rich multi-modal datasets for the investigation of both healthy and pathologic networks. Thomas Jefferson University provides a rich 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 structural and functional image processing and analysis using programs such as MATLAB, R, SPM, FSL, HCP workbench, and related toolboxes. Applicants must have a PHD or MD with strong experience in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, neurology, neuropsychology, or related field. Interested applicants should send a CV and cover letter. Qualified applicants will be asked to send additional materials. Anticipated start date in 2022 is flexible. Contact: Joseph I. Tracy, Ph.D., ABPP(CN). Thomas Jefferson Univ./Farber Institute for Neuroscience, Health Sciences Building, 901 Walnut Street, 4th floor, Phila.,PA 19107, phone:#215-955-4661, e-mail: joseph.tracy@jefferson.edu.
