Postdoctoral Fellow in Neural Engineering at City college of new york

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of New York (CCNY campus) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Neural Engineering. The position would be supported by a one year grant from the DARPA Accelerated Learning Program. The research focuses on the effects of electrical stimulation on human brain function for therapeutic and performance enhancing purposes. The work may lead to the development of a new medical device. This is a collaborative research project between the labs of Lucas C. Parra, Marom Bikson and Eric M. Wassermann. The work will be performed at CCNY in New York City and the National Institute of Neurological Decease and Stroke in Bethesda. The experimental work involves non-invasive electrical stimulation and EEG recordings in healthy volunteers. We can envision two types of candidates, those with experience in performing human subject experiments and/or psychophysics, or those with a strong quantitative and signal analysis background. In either case, a solid foundation in neuroscience is required. Anticipated starting date is 12/1/2009. Please send your CV to parra@ccny.cuny.edu.
