of networks, to understand the process of motor skill consolidation in the brain and its breakdown after injury. A specific focus is on cortico-cerebellar dynamics and sleep's role in motor learning and rehabilitation (Rangwani et al, <i>Cell Reports</i> 2025;
Abbasi et al, <i>Science Advances</i> 2024; Fleischer et al, <i>eNeuro</i> 2024, Gulati et al, <i>Nat Neurosci</i> 2014, 2017). We are also utilizing this knowledge to develop novel neurotechnology that promotes motor recovery after stroke (Abbasi et al, <i>J
Neural Engineering and Rehabilitation</i> 2021, Simpson et al, <i>Front Neurol</i> 2023; Gulati et al, <i>J Neurosci</i> 2015). Building on this work, we are currently testing cerebellar neuromodulation approaches to promote stroke recovery, and recording
across motor cortex and cerebellum in rodents to characterize spike and local field potential (LFP) dynamics as recovery proceeds. The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in multi-site electrophysiological recordings, closed-loop stimulation and brain-machine
interface experiments in rodent models using neuropixels and TDT electrophysiology workstation, spike-LFP data analyses, and manuscript preparation. There will also be an opportunity to mentor junior trainees (interns/graduate students). Salary is negotiable.</span></p>

Applicants are expected to have a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, or a related discipline. Strong candidates will have experience in one or more of the following: spike/LFP electrophysiology and analysis, data analysis and programming (MATLAB/Python),
animal training, or experimental neurophysiology. Candidates with strong computational/analytical experience (e.g., spike sorting, LFP/spectral analysis, spike-field coherence) but more limited hands-on experimental experience will also be considered.</span></p>
