machine learning analysis is ideal.<span> </span>A
background in electrophysiology and behavioral methods is desirable.<span> </span>The project will involve collection and
analysis of human brain recordings in epilepsy surgery patients, so candidates
would ideally be comfortable working in a clinical environment.<span> </span><span></span></span></p>
