[CogSci] Open postdoc position in plasticity in action execution (Washington DC)

[Ella Striem-Amit]

*Postdoctoral researcher position in plasticity in action execution*

The SAMP Lab (Sensory and motor plasticity, Ella Striem-Amit’s lab) at
Georgetown University (Washington DC, USA) is looking for a passionate and
dedicated Postdoctoral researcher to work on a project on plasticity and
abstractness in action execution.
The SAMP lab explores the balance between innate brain organization and
experience-dependent plasticity by studying models of sensory and motor
deprivation using behavioral and fMRI state of the art analytical
techniques.
Specifically, in this project we will explore neural action representations
which are independent from the body part used to execute them, studying
people born without hands. For detail of the lab see
*samp-lab.facultysite.georgetown.edu
<http://samp-lab.facultysite.georgetown.edu/>*, and a relevant recent
publication: *www.pnas.org/content/117/45/28433
<http://www.pnas.org/content/117/45/28433>*.

Excellent understanding of and experience with fMRI and data analysis are
required. Strong programming skills (Matlab/R/python, etc.) are also a
requirement. Experience with behavioral methods used in motor control and
mapping is desirable but not a requirement. The position is not limited to
US citizens.

The start date is flexible, but preferably May-July 2021.This position is
available for two years, and can be extended further based on performance.
To apply, please send your CV, a brief statement of research interests and
a copy of your recent, representative publication by email to Dr. Ella
Striem-Amit (*Ella.StriemAmit at georgetown.edu
<Ella.StriemAmit at georgetown.edu>*) with the subject line: “post-doc
application”.
