Two postdoctoral Positions in Vision Neuroscience at Duke University
An interdisciplinary team of faculty at Duke’s School of Medicine,
School of Engineering, and Center for Cognitive Neuroscience has been
awarded a Brain Initiative NIH grant to investigate the neural
mechanisms of vision using TMS combined with EEG or fMRI in humans or
with single-cell recording in non-human primates. We are inviting
applications for two postdoctoral positions for human research, one
emphasizing EEG and the other, fMRI.
We seek applicants with expert knowledge in TMS, EEG, and/or fMRI.
Successful candidates will have a demonstrated scientific track record
with past projects that cohere with some aspects of the programs
described above. Desired skills for this position include knowledge in
several of the following: psychometrics/psychophysics, TMS, EEG,
source and electric-field modeling, fMRI, computational modeling, and
cognitive neuroscience. Individuals with a Ph.D. in psychology,
neuroscience, cognitive science, neurobiology, engineering or related
fields are encouraged to apply.
Responsibilities will include research protocol development, data
collection and analysis of behavioral, TMS, EEG, and fMRI data,
manuscript and grant preparation, and the mentoring and supervision of
students and research assistants. This project will provide an
opportunity to interact with a diverse team of researchers and large
cognitive neuroscience community at Duke University
This position comes with full benefits, and applicants will gain
on-the-job training and certification. Rank and salary will be
determined based on qualifications and experience. Postdoc pay will be
based on current NIH scales

Initial appointments are for one year and renewal is based on
availability of support. Review of candidates will start immediately,
and will continue until the position is filled. The position will be
available as soon as the search process is completed. Candidates must
be willing to relocate to Durham NC, or the surrounding area.
To apply for the position please send an email to Dr. Greg Appelbaum
([log in to unmask]) for EEG emphasis and to Dr. Roberto Cabeza
([log in to unmask]) for fMRI emphasis. The email should include a
current CV, a letter of interest with the expected date of
availability, and the names and contact information for at least three
references. Informal inquiry is welcome via email and more information
can be found at www.cabezalab.org and www.dukeoptilab.org.
