[visionlist] Postdoctoral researcher position in the neuroscience of brain motor plasticity in people born without hands

[Ella Striem-Amit]

*Postdoctoral researcher position in the neuroscience of brain motor
plasticity in people born without hands*



The Sensory and Motor Plasticity Lab, led by Ella Striem-Amit, is
recruiting a Postdoctoral researcher to join its team at Georgetown
University in Washington, D.C., USA.

The SAMP lab explores brain organization and experience-dependent
plasticity by studying people born blind, deaf, or without hands, using
behavioral, computational, and fMRI state-of-the-art analytical techniques.
The successful applicant will work on the topic of motor plasticity in
people born without hands. Specifically, the project will test how people
born without hands engage the motor hierarchy to perform everyday actions
with their feet. A large dataset has already been collected to address
these questions, and additional data can be collected.

For more information about the lab, see samp-lab.facultysite.georgetown.edu
<https://samp-lab.facultysite.georgetown.edu/research>.

Excellent understanding of and experience with fMRI and data analysis are
required. Strong programming skills (Matlab, R or python, etc.) are also
required. The position is not limited to US citizens.

The start date is fall-winter 2024, but flexible in exceptional
circumstances. Funding for this position is available for 3 years, and may
be extended.

To apply, please email your CV and a brief statement of research interests
to Ella Striem-Amit (Ella.StriemAmit at georgetown.edu) with the subject line:
“post-doc application”. Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis.
