<div>An NIH funded postdoctoral position is advertised to study the mechanisms of visual cortex plasticity following injury by fMRI. Patients with visual system injuries will be recruited from a large pool of patients seen in low vision clinic and the stroke
service at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Boston JP VA. State of the art population receptive field methods will be used to map visual cortex organization before and after appropriate rehabilitative training. Particular focus will be placed on identifying
and characterizing imaging biomarkers predictive of improved recovery by fMRI and in select patients by MEG.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Applicants must be strongly motivated with a keen interest in visual system plasticity and with a strong record of achievement in systems neuroscience as evidenced by prior publications. Prior experience with neuroimaging and facility with computational
methods for imaging data analysis is essential. </div>
