ECoG Post-doc opportunities with Nitin Tandon, Stan Dehaene, Nathan Crone, Xaq Pitkow & me

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITIONSPONSORED BY BRAIN INITIATIVE GRANTPostdoctoral research positions are available in the lab of Nitin Tandon at Houston. This position is funded by a BRAIN Initiative U01 grant funded project that uses electro-corticographic (ECoG) recordings and fMRI on a large cohort (n=80) to evaluate psycholinguistic models of reading and speech production to create network level representation of language. Collaborators on the project include Greg Hickok, Stanislas Dehaene, Nathan Crone and Xaq Pitkow; the post-doc will benefit from a close interaction with these experts in the fields of reading, semantics, speech production and computational neuroscience.The selected individuals are expected to be a highly motivated, team players with a passion to study cognitive processes using imaging, direct recordings and closed-loop cortical stimulation in humans. They will be responsible for1)   data collection in the epilepsy monitoring unit and in the MRI scanner2)   ECoG data analysis using an analysis pipelines existent in the lab and via the development of innovative analytic strategies including machine learning and AI approaches3)   data presentation at conferences and manuscript preparation.The selected individual must have a Ph.D. in one or more of the following: neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, mathematics, electrical engineering or computer science. Previous experience in neural time series d...
