Postdoctoral position to study human memory

A full-time post-doctoral position focused on understanding the neural correlates of human memory is available in the University of Missouri, Department of Neurosurgery in Columbia, MO starting immediately.  This position involves analyzing human intracranial electrophysiological data, including local field potentials and single unit activity recorded from patients with medically refractory epilepsy.  The Kundu lab’s focus is to understand the neural mechanisms that underlie human memory and learning and develop techniques to directly interact with those circuits through stimulation methods.

We are seeking candidates that are highly creative, motivated, and can work independently, and whom hold a Ph.D. in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, data science, or a related field.  Experience in digital signal processing and experience using MATLAB required. Candidates must have a strong research background, with a record of publications in neuroscience. Candidates will be expected to participate in independent laboratory research and to write scholarly manuscripts. Candidates should have strong computational, quantitative, and/or engineering skills, with proficiency in developing custom code for data analysis.  Candidates must be willing to perform experiments in a clinical setting and will interact with clinical staff, graduate students, and must have excellent spoken and written English skills.  

Applicants should submit a brief statement of research activities and interests, a current CV, and names and contact information of at least 2 references.  Salary will be commensurate with experience and accomplishments. To arrange a meeting with the PI and to send materials required for consideration for this appointment please contact Dr. Bornali Kundu; Bornali.kundu@health.missouri.edu
