Two positions available in Stephen Wilson Lab, Univ of Arizona -- Post doc & Lab manager

Postdoctoral position, Language Neuroscience Laboratory, University of ArizonaA Postdoctoral position is available in the Language Neuroscience Laboratory (PI: Stephen M. Wilson) at the University of Arizona. The successful applicant will play a key role on an NIH-funded project investigating the neural correlates of recovery from aphasia after acute stroke.A Ph.D. is required in a relevant field, such as Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, Cognitive Neuroscience, or Psychology. The ideal candidate will have (1) experience working with individuals with acquired language impairments, and (2) experience in conducting neuroimaging studies (e.g. fMRI, DTI, VLSM). However candidates who are exceptionally strong in one of these two areas, and show potential to learn in the other, will be considered. Excellent interpersonal skills are critical, since the position will involve significant interaction with patients, family members, and health professionals. A record of research productivity is highly desirable. Programming skills are desirable but not essential.Research in the Language Neuroscience Laboratory is focused on the neural basis of language function, how language breaks down in patients with different kinds of aphasia, and the neural changes that support recovery. Our approach combines multimodal neuroimaging with quantitative assessments of language function. We have access to two recently installed and fully equipped Siemens Skyra 3-Tesla scanners (one for inpatients ...
