| Investigator: Allen R. Braun
Affiliation: Multimodal Imaging Studies of Language Processing
Position
Type: Postdoctoral
Fellowship
Description:
Postdoctoral fellowship is available immediately in the Language Section, NIDCD, NIH Intramural Program, Bethesda, MD. Our section conducts multimodal imaging studies of language processing using hemodynamic (fMRI, PET), radiotracer (PET) and electrophysiological (EEG, MEG) techniques. An ideal candidate would have experience with one or more of these methods and/or computational methods used in the analysis of the data they provide, and a strong interest in using these methods to study brain-language relationships. Instrumentation available to our Section at The NIH Clinical Center includes a 3T GE MRI instrument, GE Advance PET scanners, 275 channel CTF MEG and Neuroscan EEG/ERP systems, as well as animal imaging facilities using MRI, CT, PET and electrophysiological methods. The present position would be dedicated to studies of recovery in aphasia – evaluating and modeling the natural history, and long term neuroplastic reorganization and repair in this disorder. The Language Section is a cooperative environment in which there is an opportunity to interact with postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and technicians with a wide range of interests and skills. A PhD or MD degree is required. Knowledge of fMRI or MEG and any experience in using these methods to evaluate brain language relationships is strongly preferred. Experience in computer programming, image processing will be advantageous as well. The fellowship carries an initial contract of two years with an option to renew. The typical duration of such a fellowship is three years.
