We are seeking a full-time post-doctoral research fellow to study computational and neuroscientific models of perception and cognition. The research fellow will be jointly supervised by Dr. David Brang (https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/brang-lab/) and Zhongming Liu (https://libi.engin.umich.edu). The goal of this collaboration is to build computational models of cognitive and perceptual processes using data combined from electrocorticography (ECoG) and fMRI.

The successful applicant will also have freedom to conduct additional research based on their interests, using a variety of methods -- ECoG, fMRI, DTI, lesion mapping, and EEG. The ideal start date is from spring to fall 2021 and the position is expected to last for at least two years, with the possibility of extension for subsequent years.

We are also recruiting a Post-Doc for research on multisensory interactions (particularly how vision modulates speech perception) using Cognitive Neuroscience techniques or to help with our large-scale brain tumor collaboration with Shawn Hervey-Jumper at UCSF (https://herveyjumperlab.ucsf.edu). In this latter collaboration we collect iEEG (from ~50 patients/year) and lesion mapping data (from ~150 patients/year) in patients with a brain tumor to study sensory and cognitive functions in patients. The goals of this project are to better understand the physiology of tumors, study causal mechanisms of brain functions, and generalize iEEG/ECoG findings from epilepsy patients to a second patient population.

Scheduled maintenance in progress.
