Fellowship available for work on epilepsy, brain connectomics, and cognitive neuroscience with the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center of the North Shore-LIJ Health System, NY, USA. This unique fellowship will fund an MD, DO, or MD/PhD to serve as a clinical fellow treating epilepsy patients under the mentorship of a team of experienced epileptologists and to engage in research using neuroimaging and electrophysiology to improve the diagnosis of epilepsy and to further the basic science of human brain function. More specifically, ongoing research projects include: (1) Validation of task-based and resting state fMRI and DTI measures of brain connectivity using electrical stimulation mapping and ECoG (2) Identifying areas of seizure genesis and spread using network analysis of fMRI and ECoG dynamics (3) Investigation of the neuronal dynamics underlying selective attention, language comprehension, visual object identification and auditory stream analysis.
For a more detailed description about the lab and representative publications see: http://www.feinsteininstitute.org/Feinstein/Laboratory+for+Multimodal+Human+Brain+Research Candidates should meet the following qualifications: 1) M.D., D.O., or an M.D./Ph.D. degree, 2) Have graduated from or be currently enrolled in a New York state medical school, residency training program or fellowship. 3) Have some background in fMRI, electrophysiology, and/or data analysis using one or more of the following software packages: Matlab, FreeSurfer, FSL, AFNI This is a great opportunity for a physician-scientist to develop both as a clinician and researcher. An ideal candidate would be a neurologist, neurosurgeon or neuroradiologist with an interest in epilepsy, functional neurosurgery or functional brain mapping. This fellowship is part of the New York State ECRIP program, which offers a competitive salary and an opportunity to supplement income with clinical work.
