Postdoc at The Massachusetts General Hospital with David Gow

Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at The Massachusetts General HospitalQualified individuals are invited to apply for a postdoctoral fellow position bridging cognitive neuroscience, phonology, and language processing. This position is supported by an NIDCD R01 awarded to Dr. David Gow (Massachusetts General Hospital) and Dr. Seppo Ahlfors (Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging). The postdoctoral scholar will be stationed in Cambridge near the MIT campus, and will image at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Charlestown, MA. We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic postdoctoral candidate with a neuroscience experience (in particular MEG) and strong coding skills who will play a key role in a project that uses neural decoding and effective connectivity analyses developed in our lab to study phonological constraints on spoken language perception.  These analyses are performed on MR-constrained sourcespace reconstructions of simultaneous MEG/EEG data collected during spoken language perception tasks. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Psychology, Linguistics, or a related field, or have completed all of the requirements for a Ph.D. by the time of appointment. Experience with sourcespace analyses of electrophysiological data is strongly preferred. The postdoctoral scholar will be expected to design and coordinate experiments using our methods, present data at national and international conferences, and write manuscrip...
