Jobs

Multiple open-rank professors (assistant/associate/full)

Priority Areas:

  1. Neural decoding and machine learning for brain-computer interfaces in humans

  2. Neuroimaging, including structural, DTI and lesion analysis

  3. Cognitive neuroscience of auditory processing and speech production

Job Responsibilities:

Successful candidates will be expected to create and sustain independent research programs, including planning, supervising and directing research in their specialized field. This includes the development of study design, data collection, data analysis, results interpretation, manuscript writing and grant proposal preparation. Candidates will have the opportunity to train and supervise undergraduate, graduate and MD/PhD students at UTHealth and Rice University.

Job Requirements:

Candidates must possess a Ph.D. in Neuroscience or a related field. A record of verifiable and published research, existing (or the potential to obtain) extramural, peer-reviewed funding, and excellent teamwork and communication skills.

postdoctoral fellows / phD students

Priority Areas:

  1. Brain computer interfaces for speech and language production

  2. Neurophysiology of human speech and auditory processing

  3. Neural correlates of word production and object naming

Job Responsibilities:

Successful candidates must be self-starters, motivated, and enthusiastic scientists. It is anticipated that the individuals selected will take responsibility for carrying out research projects, assembling results of research into manuscripts for publication, and participate in laboratory maintenance. Additionally, the individuals will participate in the preparation of grants for submission to funding agencies and in providing guidance and assistance to other junior members of the lab. The ability to independently code in any or all of the following: MATLAB, R or Python is required for postdocs and strongly suggested for graduate students. Current research methods include: electrocorticography (ECoG), direct cortical stimulation, deep brain recording, fMRI, DTI, lesion analysis, and MEG.

Candidates will work under the guidance of Nitin Tandon, MD (Neurosurgeon, Chair ad interim, Department of Neurosurgery and Director of the Epilepsy Surgery Program at Memorial Hermann Hospital) in his lab that focuses on language processing while treating epilepsy and improving epilepsy patient outcomes.
