Postdoctoral Position in Sequential Reaching Actions (posted February 7th, 2023)
The Pruszynski Lab is looking to hire a new postdoc with interest in the behavioral, neural, and computational underpinnings of sequential reaching actions. Candidates must have a PhD in Neuroscience, Physiology, Psychology, Engineering, or a related area, and a strong academic track record as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications. Experience with electrophysiological studies in non-human primates is particularly desired. Experience with behavioral studies in humans especially coupled with EMG recordings is also of interest.
The successful candidate will join an ongoing collaboration with the Diedrichsen Lab, investigating the neural mechanisms of motor planning during ongoing actions. The successful candidate will also become a member of the International Consortium on Motor Control. The lab is located in London, Canada, and is part of the Sensorimotor Superlab at Western University. Systems and cognitive neuroscience is a key area of research strength at Western University, with more than 70 Principal Investigators and 200 trainees. The position is funded by a project grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the work is further supported by a grant from the Simons Foundation. The position will initially last for 3 years, with possibility for renewal. Annual salary depends on the level of experience, but will be $58,000 at the minimum. Start date is negotiable.
Application review will start February 21st and will continue until the position is filled. Applications should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file titled Lastname_Firstname.pdf directly to andrew.pruszynski@uwo.ca. The file should include:
