Available Postdoctoral Position

[Barry Horwitz]

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Neural Modeling of Human Functional Neuroimaging
Data

National Institute on Aging
and
National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders

An entry-level postdoctoral fellowship under the supervision of Dr. Barry
Horwitz is available immediately for developing and applying computational
neuroscience modeling methods to in vivo human functional neuroimaging
data, obtained from positron emission tomography (PET) and functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).  The goal is to understand the relation
between functional neuroimaging data, with its low spatial and temporal
resolution, and the underlying electrophysiological behavior of multiple
interconnected neuronal populations.  Knowledge of neural modeling
techniques and programming experience are required.  PET and fMRI
facilities are available to implement and test hypotheses derived from the
modeling.  See Cerebral Cortex 8: 310-320 (1998) for an example of this
approach.  PhD or MD degree required.  The position is in the Language
Section, Voice, Speech and Language Branch, NIDCD, NIH, Bethesda, MD USA.
