Description
Area: Electrophysiology & Imaging in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Duration: 1 Year with possibility of extension
Start Date: TBD
Salary: $55,000.00 CAD per annum, plus University of Calgary Plan C health benefits
The Department of Clinical Neurosciences in the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar in Electrophysiology & Imaging in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).
:
A motivated Postdoctoral Fellow is sought to join a unique multidisciplinary team of imaging and ultrasound engineers (Bruce Pike, Sam Pichardo, Kartik Murari) and neuroscientists (Zelma Kiss, Darren Clark, Patrick Whelan, Andrea Protzner). The project is NSERC-funded and involves focused ultrasound (FUS) neuromodulation imaging/electrophysiology and modeling. Focused ultrasound is emerging as an important neuromodulatory tool, allowing for non-invasive or minimally invasive alteration of brain network function. The mechanisms of FUS action are not well-understood. The candidate would use in vitro and in vivo animal models to interrogate how FUS alters neural function, with access to cutting edge equipment from InSightec, BrainSonics, as well as custom-built focused ultrasound systems and software. The post-doc will present at local and international conferences (e.g. International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound will be in neighbouring Banff in 2025), have opportunities for teaching or industry relationships, and expand the project into new directions. Taking ownership of the work will allow them to apply for their own fellowship funding from local and national/international organizations, with the support of their network of mentors.
