Postdoctoral Researchers–MEG and Multimodal Neuroimaging in Dementia and Epilepsy

• Multimodal Language Mapping in Epilepsy
  This position will focus on improving prediction of language outcomes following epilepsy surgery through integration of noninvasive neuroimaging, including MEG, fMRI, and diffusion MRI (DWI/DTI), with invasive language-mapping approaches such as electrical stimulation mapping (ESM). The project provides opportunities to develop and validate computational approaches for multimodal brain mapping and clinically relevant prediction of surgical outcomes in patients with epilepsy and brain tumors.
• Multimodal Neuroimaging and Biomarkers in AD/ADRD                                                                        This position will focus on integrating MEG with multimodal neuroimaging, including structural MRI, fMRI, diffusion MRI, and PET, to advance biomarker discovery and mechanistic understanding of neural dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body disease, and related dementias. Opportunities include advanced signal processing, brain connectivity and network analyses, multimodal data integration, and machine-learning/AI approaches.

Both postdoctoral researchers will have opportunities to lead analyses, develop new computational and neuroimaging methods, collaborate with multidisciplinary clinical and research teams, contribute to grant applications, and develop independent research directions aligned with their career goals.

The positions offer substantial opportunities for scientific and professional development, including individualized mentorship in grant writing, development of independent research projects, and career-focused funding applications such as NIH K awards. Postdoctoral researchers will also be supported in presenting their work at major national and international scientific conferences.
