A postdoctoral fellowship in functional neuroimaging is available in the
Language Section, NIDCD, NIH Intramural Program, Bethesda, MD
The position will focus on imaging studies of higher level language
processing and functional recovery in aphasia evaluating and modeling the
natural history, and long term neuroplastic reorganization and repair in
this disorder.
Our section conducts multimodal studies of language processing using
hemodynamic (fMRI, PET), radiotracer (PET) and electrophysiological (EEG,
MEG) techniques. An ideal candidate would have experience with one or more
of these methods and/or computational methods used in the analysis of the
data they provide, and a strong interest in using these methods to study
brain-language relationships
Instrumentation available to our Section at The NIH Clinical Center includes
a 3T GE MRI instrument, GE Advance PET scanners, 275 channel CTF MEG and
Neuroscan EEG/ERP systems, as well as animal imaging facilities using MRI,
CT, PET and electrophysiological methods.
The Language Section is a cooperative environment in which there is an
opportunity to interact with postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and
technicians with a wide range of interests and skills.
A PhD or MD degree is required. Knowledge of fMRI or MEG and any experience
in using these methods to evaluate brain language relationships is strongly
preferred. Experience in computer programming, image processing will be
advantageous as well. The fellowship carries an initial contract of two
years with an option to renew. The typical duration of such a fellowship is
three years.
