Clinical Post-Doc

We are looking for a MD candidate (neurologist) with previous training in epileptology and neurophysiology (EEG / intracranial EEG) ideally within 1-2 years post sub-specialization. USMLE exams are not required, as this is a clinical research position. The candidate is expected to have their own project aligned with the lab’s main research direction with a strong focus on the development and validation of novel EEG biomarkers to achieve a more accurate diagnosis of epilepsy and ultimately better surgical outcomes. More specifically, they will be involved in the development of novel neurophysiology biomarkers for improved prediction of epilepsy surgery outcomes. A first objective will consist in phenotyping our growing database of SEEG data. This will provide the opportunity to obtain extensive training in the interpretation of SEEG. Secondly, the candidate will also be involved in the analysis of non-invasive high-density scalp EEG recording and will be trained to perform electrical source imaging.

​

Applicants must have their degree in neurology to be considered as postdoctoral fellow by the University and are required to have demonstrated clinical expertise in epileptology and electrophysiology.

​

• Applicants should have excellent organizational skills, an aptitude for teamwork, and good writing skills.
• A productive publication record as well as experience in the use EEG research software (Brainstorm, MNE python or Matlab EEG lab) will constitute an asset, but is not a must.
• Funding of this position following the NIH guidelines for postdoctoral salaries is guaranteed by the University for at least 2 years.
