Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Computational Neuroscience

Use computational methods to explain why responsive neurostimulation leaves some people with epilepsy almost seizure-free while others gain no benefit. The NIH-funded project in the Mapping & Engineering Neural Dynamics Lab draws on more than 260 patients and about 240,000 chronic ECoG recordings with stimulation histories, imaging and outcomes, turning device time series into brain-state measures and building outcome-prediction models for prospective validation.

PhD in a quantitative field (computational neuroscience, engineering, computer science, statistics, mathematics or physics) or an MD with equivalent quantitative training; strong Python, MATLAB or Julia; depth in signal processing, statistical modelling or machine learning; at least one first-author paper or preprint. Applications are a CV, statement of interest and a link to code, emailed as described in the posting. Salary $71,750–81,179; J-1 sponsorship available.
