Memory and Perception Lab</a> of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to lead the lab’s research using layer-fMRI methods. The lab uses BOLD and non-BOLD sequences with high spatial resolution to investigate
how feedforward and feedback information are dissociable across layers of human cortex. A main area of interest is the functional organization of cortical layers in regions involved in high-level vision and semantic memory. The successful candidate will have
the opportunity to contribute to the new and fast-growing field of layer-fMRI in humans while developing an independent research program. The lab also conducts related experiments using behavioral methods, eyetracking, TMS, and conventional BOLD fMRI. As a
postdoc in the lab, you will also have the opportunity and resources to contribute to those lines of research as time permits. </span></p>
