The Language Section of the National Institute on Deafness and Other
Communication Disorders, NIH, is offering a postdoctoral fellowship which
will in large part focus on research using functional imaging methods to
study long term neuroplastic reorganization and repair in post-stroke
aphasia.
Our section conducts multimodal imaging studies of language processing using
hemodynamic (fMRI, PET), radiotracer (PET) and electrophysiological (EEG,
MEG) techniques. 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.
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.
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.
