The Motor Neurophysiology lab of the University of Minnesota Department of Neurology is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral position, to work on projects involving intraoperative electrophysiological recording and stimulation in neurosurgical patients and neurostimulation and gait in Parkinson's patients.
The candidate should have skill and experience in one or more of the following areas: Human subjects research, disorders of the nervous system, kinesiology, electrophysiology, data management and data analysis using tools such as Matlab, LabView, Python, etc.
The position provides an opportunity for a qualified individual to do advanced neuromodulation research in a well-resourced, highly collaborative environment, at an institution noted for its strength in this field.
The Motor Neurophysiology lab http://www.neurology.umn.edu/cooper_lab.html studies the extrapyramidal motor system in human subjects, with an emphasis on disease states and neurosurgical therapies. The lab's current focus is on the basal ganglia (BG), and on Parkinson's disease (PD) in particular. Most of the work centers on deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS is used as a tool to understand BG physiology and, especially, PD pathophysiology; in addition DBS therapeutic mechanisms are a major subject of investigation in their own right. The research has a heavy translational slant aimed at developing improved approaches to DBS.
The Motor Neurophysiology lab is the newest addition to the U of MN neuromodulation research group, a tightly knit cluster of researchers including neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, neuroimaging specialists, and biomedical engineers.
Interested individuals please email a CV and brief personal statement to:
