Postdoctoral researcher position in plasticity in action execution
The SAMP Lab (Sensory and motor plasticity, Ella Striem-Amit’s lab) at Georgetown University (Washington DC, USA) is looking for a passionate and dedicated Postdoctoral researcher to work on a project on plasticity and abstractness in action execution.
The SAMP lab explores the balance between innate brain organization and experience-dependent plasticity by studying models of sensory and motor deprivation using behavioral and fMRI state of the art analytical techniques. Specifically, in this project we will explore neural action representations which are independent from the body part used to execute them, studying people born without hands. For detail of the lab see samp-lab.facultysite.georgetown.edu<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__samp-2Dlab.facultysite…>, and a relevant recent publication: www.pnas.org/content/117/45/28433<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.pnas.org_content_11…>.
Excellent understanding of and experience with fMRI and data analysis are required. Strong programming skills (Matlab/R/python, etc.) are also a requirement. Experience with behavioral methods used in motor control and mapping is desirable but not a requirement. The position is not limited to US citizens.
The start date is flexible, but preferably May-July 2021.This position is available for two years, and can be extended further based on performance.
To apply, please send your CV, a brief statement of research interests and a copy of your recent, representative publication by email to Dr. Ella Striem-Amit (Ella.StriemAmit(a)georgetown.edu<mailto:Ella.StriemAmit@georgetown.edu>) with the subject line: “post-doc application”.
