We’re always looking for great people

There may be some specific jobs below but interested people are always encouraged to drop us a line. Just send along a CV and a statement of your research interests and how our lab can help get you to where you want to be. Keep in mind that all our work requires some coding and at least a little math, so please point out your skills and interests along these lines.

PhD Students (NHP calcium imaging / electrophysiology; human motor control)

We are looking to recruit two PhD students in the area of upper-limb motor control. The goal is to determine whether and how microcircuits in the primary somatosensory cortex differentially process sensory information for the purposes of perception versus motor control (see here for further context). This work could involve a variety of empirical techniques and could be in humans or NHPs depending on student experience and interest. Previous experience in the domain of motor control, especially electrophysiology, is desired but not required.

Our labs are 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.

Specifics

• Start date ideally no later than September 2019.
