美国纽约威尔康奈尔医学院认知神经科学、神经影像学方向博士后招聘

　　招聘简介：

　　申请被邀请到纽约市威尔康奈尔医学院康复医学系的博士后研究助理职位（立即开始）。成功的候选人将在Sudhin A. Shah博士的实验室工作，研究获得性脑损伤后认知功能恢复的机制。

　　认知功能障碍 - 感知，计划，推理和记忆能力受损 - 是获得性脑损伤最常见和最令人衰弱的后果之一。目前，我们缺乏预测伤后如何进化并有效治疗的能力。获得性脑损伤是全世界死亡和残疾的主要原因，并且本质上是异质的;因此，我们无法预测或治疗由此产生的认知障碍，这代表了一种关键的未满足的医疗需求。我们的研究计划旨在确定损伤后认知障碍的个体特定神经生物学变化（使用fmzPET，EEG，MRI），并利用这些知识创建预测模型，预测认知能力在受伤后如何随时间变化，追踪自发和干预恢复并告知旨在减少损伤的治疗干预措施。

　　Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate position (immediate start) in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. The successful candidate will work in the laboratory of Dr. Sudhin A. Shah, PhD on mechanisms underlying recovery of cognitive function following acquired brain injury.

　　Cognitive dysfunction – the impaired ability to perceive, plan, reason and remember- is among the most common and debilitating consequences of acquired brain injury. At present we lack the ability to predict how it will evolve after injury, and effectively treat it. Acquired brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide and is by nature heterogeneous; thus our inability to prognosticate or treat the resulting cognitive impairment represents a critical unmet medical need. Our research program aims to identify the individual specific neurobiological changes (using fmzPET, EEG, MRI) that underlie cognitive impairments following injury and use the knowledge to create prognostic models that predict how cognitive ability will change with time after injury, track spontaneous and intervened recovery and inform therapeutic interventions that aim to reduce impairment.

　　Required:

　　PhD/doctorate in engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, cognitive neuroscience or related disciplines

　　Solid background in neuroimaging (EEG and/or PET)

　　Expertise in statistical methods and analysis of neuroimaging data

　　Evidence of published peer-reviewed research

　　Strong analytical, quantitative, and programming skills

　　Excellent skills in written and spoken English

　　Preferred:

　　Experience with Matlab and/or Python

　　Experience in designing and conducting experiments in cognitive neuroscience

　　Experience with clinical research

　　An employment application must contain the following documents in English:

　　A complete curriculum vitae, including date of the dissertation defense, title of the dissertation, previous academic positions, academic title, current position, academic distinctions, and committee work

　　A complete list of publications

　　A statement of interest – summarizing past/current work and future goals (< 1 page)

　　Three references (with contact details for follow-up)

　　Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, and the search will remain open until the position is filled. The initial term is for two years. Salary will be determined based on the experience of the candidate and the University guidelines for Postdoctoral Fellows. Please send application package to sut2006@med.cornell.edu, with “postdoctoral fellowship position” in the subject line.
