Job Description
We seek a postdoc to work on an exciting federally funded project examining cognitive effort and flexibility in traumatic brain injury (TBI). This project will use a combination of transcranial alternating current stimulation and computational modeling to improve symptoms of mental fatigue after TBI. Our interdisciplinary, joint psychiatry-neurosurgery lab offers a unique opportunity to learn or improve skills in electrophysiology, non-invasive brain stimulation, neuroeconomics, and computational modeling. The ideal candidate has a background in both engineering/computer science and cognitive neuroscience or a strong willingness to learn one or the other. The position offers the opportunity to gain experience working with patients to collect data, but strong staff support exists for this already. The focus of the post-doc will be on analyzing data and writing papers. See our website at www.hermandarrowlab.com
