[Physics opps] Fwd: Computation and Neuroscience Research Position, Yale U.

[8-opps@mit.edu]

> There is a computation and neuroscience research assistant position
> available in my laboratory for 1-2 years beginning this summer.  This
> position would be appropriate for a student (taking a year off) or
> recent graduate who wishes to spend at least 1 year doing full time
> research before pursuing a career or graduate studies in computation
> or neuroscience related fields (Computer Science, Neurobiology,
> Experimental Psych, etc.).
>
> My research is on loss of consciousness during epileptic seizures, and
> on what this may teach us about normal brain mechanisms of
> consciousness (see also http://myprofile.cos.com/halblumenfeld).
> Ongoing projects include functional neuroimaging studies with
> simultaneous EEG and behavioral testing in patients with epilepsy.  In
> addition, we perform in vivo electrophysiology and fMRI recordings
> from animal models of epilepsy during seizures to explore the role of
> cortical and subcortical network interactions.  This position involves
> participating in a multi-disciplinary team, working on improving
> computational methods for localizing and treating epileptic seizures.
> Some research or work experience, particularly in computer science or
> neuroscience, or equivalent advanced coursework in these fields is
> highly desirable.
>
> Ample opportunities will also be available for exposure to clinical
> Neurology, Neurosurgery, and related fields depending on the student's
> interests.  Mentoring will be provided on how to pursue a career in
> computer science or neuroscience research, or on how to combine basic
> research and clinical work through a career in academia.
>
> Interested applicants should send a brief cover letter, curriculum
> vitae, and three references via email to:  hal.blumenfeld at yale.edu
