*Postdoctoral researcher position in visual and/or motor brain plasticity*



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 study brain plasticity in congenital
visual and/or motor deprivation.

The SAMP lab explores the balance between innate brain organization and
experience-dependent plasticity by studying people born blind or born
without hands using behavioral and fMRI state of the art analytical
techniques. Relevant projects include (but are not limited to) exploring
individual differences in brain plasticity and action execution without
hands. For more details see
https://samp-lab.facultysite.georgetown.edu/people/opportunities.

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

The start date is flexible, but preferably fall/winter 2021-2. This
position is available for two years, and can be extended further based on
performance.

To apply, please send your CV and brief statement of research interests by
email to Dr. Ella Striem-Amit (Ella.StriemAmit at georgetown.edu) with the
subject line: “post-doc application”.
