Postdoctoral Fellow (NHP electrophysiology) -- Deadline to apply: September 15, 2020
The Pruszynski Lab is looking to recruit one postdoctoral fellow in the area of upper-limb motor control. The goal is to examine the neural control of reaching and grasping with a special focus on its interaction with muscle physiology. The work involves a variety of empirical techniques and two different NHP species (marmoset, macaques). An important part of the project is contributing to the development, testing, and validation of new electrodes for recording from populations of motor units. Previous experience in the domain of motor control and NHP electrophysiology is desired.
The Pruszynski Lab is part of the Sensorimotor Superlab, located at the Brain and Mind Institute and the Robarts Research Institute, both at Western University in, London, Ontario, Canada. Systems and cognitive neuroscience is a key area of research strength at Western University, with more than 30 Principal Investigators and 200 trainees. Further details about working at Western University and about living in London, Canada can be found here. This position is funded by the Simons-Emory International Consortium on Motor Control. More information about this initiative can be found here.
Specifics
Start date is negotiable (and dependent on the COVID-19 pandemic) but no earlier than January 2021. Salary is commensurate with experience but no less than $50K / year. Funding is available for at least 3 years. Financial support for relocation and immigration is available.
Process
Interested applicants should email directly: andrew.pruszynski@uwo.ca. Please include (1) a personal statement of your interests, experience, and goals (<1 page). (2) a curriculum vitae and, (3) names of two references. Applications will be considered until a suitable candidate is identified.
