[Cyndi Gundlach]

POST DOC FELLOW, EPILEPSY:



A postdoctoral research scientist with expertise in Neurosciences to assist
our Neuroscience Faculty with their research efforts



Education, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required:

1. Graduate of an accredited PhD or MD or MBBS Program.

2. Prior training in Neurosciences, Signal Processing, AI or a related
discipline.



1. The Research Epilepsy Fellows are encouraged to ideate, develop and
complete a year-long research project related to EEG, epilepsy or brain
networks. The trainees will work closely with a mentor and an
interdisciplinary team consisting of Epileptologists, Neurologists,
Neurosurgeons and researchers. The trainees will also participate in
physician initiated and industry sponsored research. The trainees will
present a research abstract at the end of the year and attend at least one
national conference. The trainees are encouraged to publish their findings
in a research paper within a year of completing the fellowship

2. The trainee will shadow the Epileptologist in the Epilepsy monitoring
unit and in the outpatient clinic. In addition, the trainees will monitor
and review video EEG studies in the EMU under the supervision of an
Epileptologist. Only licensed fellows may conduct patient evaluations.

3. The trainees will monitor and review routine EEG, rapid EEG, and
continuous EEG under the supervision of an Epileptologist. The cases of
patients with refractory seizures will be presented by the trainees in a
weekly Epilepsy conference. The trainees will also review, discuss and
present the intracranial EEG studies of patients who undergo monitoring
with stereo EEG or subdural grids and independently form a hypothesis about
the plausible seizure onset zone and the surgical plan. Only licensed
fellows may provide EEG read reports for sign off by supervising epilepsy
attendings. Non licensed providers will monitor studies to ensure
continuous monitoring compliance and ensure quality of patient care through
escalation of events to the on service neurophysiologist during identified
seizure events.

4. The trainees will learn about Epilepsy through multiple formats
including lectures, discussions and ward rounds (curriculum recommended by
AAN). In addition, the trainees will participate in weekly
multidisciplinary clinical conferences and case presentations. The trainees
will also discuss interesting journal articles in monthly journal clubs.

5. Analysis and collecting data as well as organizing data in a useful
format for publications. Responsible for publishing the study results and
findings in peer-reviewed journals and for presentation at scientific
meetings. Maintain research files and ensure participant confidentiality

6. Fellows are responsible for establishing research paradigms and designs
for all proposed research interests. Responsible for all related grant
writing to support the funding of the epilepsy program and EEG lab.
Facilitate research collaboration with academicians inside and external to
the Neuroscience Institute. Generation of comprehensive research databases
to include all collected data to differentiate between diseases versus
health participants. Creation and development of a database of epilepsy
patients associated with seizure types and patient progression for work up
in the EMU and surgical epilepsy program. To participate in ongoing
continuing education programs and activities and to share acquired
information with research faculty.

7. Mentor research students and research assistants as directed by the
Laboratory Director. Participate in ongoing continuing education programs
and activities and share acquired information with research faculty.

8. Other duties and/or projects as assigned.

9. Adheres to HMH Organizational competencies and standards of behavior.
