[CogSci] Postdoc position in plasticity in blindness and handlessness (Washington DC)

[Ella Striem-Amit]

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



The sensory and motor plasticity lab at Georgetown University (PI: Ella
Striem-Amit) 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 Ph.D. in a relevant field, experience with fMRI data analysis, and strong
programming skills are required. Experience with behavioral methods used in
visual, multisensory, or motor control is desirable but not a requirement.
The position is not limited to US citizens.

The start date is flexible. This position is available for two years and
can be extended further based on performance. The lab is located at Washington
DC, USA.

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