Several positions for postdoctoral scholars in cognitive/affective neuroscience and neuroengineering!

The Precision Neuromodulation Lab at Northwestern University in Chicago is actively recruiting (https://sites.northwestern.edu/neuromodlab). We develop and experimentally apply closed-loop brain stimulation and electroencephalography (EEG) for human mood regulation, decision-making, and memory research. The leading methods in the lab include transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with Neuronavigation and Robotic Guidance, Electroencephalography (EEG), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of brain stimulation, and Computational Cognitive Testing and Modeling.

Prospective postdocs will get exceptional prospects for shaping the future of precision brain stimulation therapies. We offer a highly interdisciplinary environment, tailored mentoring, and extensive support for career development, ensuring that you can grow and succeed in your field. There are plenty of on-site and national opportunities for collaborations with clinical neuroscience and biomedical engineering groups, formal and informal training, and access to research-dedicated MRI scanners, computational servers, and human phenotyping resources.

The candidate will be expected to build a consistent publication record, contribute to applications for extramural funding, collaborate with other team members and outside groups, attend national meetings, and effectively communicate research findings.

The position is initially offered for one year with up to three years extension. It comes with a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, disability insurance, retirement benefits, and childcare support (see more at postdocs.northwestern.edu), and a competitive salary range of $61,000-$74,000 per year, dependent on the candidate’s background and experience. Contact Dr. Ivan Alekseichuk for more details (ivan.alekseichuk@northwestern.edu). Include a brief cover letter in the email’s body, attach a CV and representative examples of research work. The recommendations will be solicited at an advanced interview stage.
