*Two postdoctoral Positions in Vision Neuroscience at Duke University*


An interdisciplinary team of faculty at Duke’s School of Medicine, School
of Engineering, and Center for Cognitive Neuroscience has been awarded a
Brain Initiative NIH grant to investigate the neural mechanisms of vision
using TMS combined with EEG or fMRI in humans or with single-cell recording
in non-human primates. We are inviting applications for two postdoctoral
positions for human research, one emphasizing EEG and the other, fMRI.



We seek applicants with expert knowledge in TMS, EEG, and/or fMRI.
Successful candidates will have a demonstrated scientific track record with
past projects that cohere with some aspects of the programs described
above. Desired skills for this position include knowledge in several of the
following: psychometrics/psychophysics, TMS, EEG, source and electric-field
modeling, fMRI, computational modeling, and cognitive neuroscience.
Individuals with a Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science,
neurobiology, engineering or related fields are encouraged to apply.



Responsibilities will include research protocol development, data
collection and analysis of behavioral, TMS, EEG, and fMRI data, manuscript
and grant preparation, and the mentoring and supervision of students and
research assistants.  This project will provide an opportunity to interact
with a diverse team of researchers and large cognitive neuroscience
community at Duke University



This position comes with full benefits, and applicants will gain on-the-job
training and certification. Rank and salary will be determined based on
qualifications and experience. Postdoc pay will be based on current NIH
scales (https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/research/funding/general/nrsa-fund-guide).
Initial appointments are for one year and renewal is based on availability
of support. Review of candidates will start immediately, and will continue
until the position is filled. The position will be available as soon as the
search process is completed. Candidates must be willing to relocate to
Durham NC, or the surrounding area.



To apply for the position please send an email to Dr. Greg Appelbaum (
greg at duke.edu) for EEG emphasis and to Dr. Roberto Cabeza (cabeza at duke.edu)
for fMRI emphasis. The email should include a current CV, a letter of
interest with the expected date of availability, and the names and contact
information for at least three references. Informal inquiry is welcome via
email and more information can be found at www.cabezalab.org and
www.dukeoptilab.org.
