Post Doctoral Associate SHRS-Commu Science & Disorders - Pennsylvania-Pittsburgh - (24008569) The overall goal of this project is to test and refine a neurobiological systems model describing how the brain's motor system interacts with its sensory systems (including via trans-cerebellar circuits) as we plan and produce speech. The project will make extensive use of state-of-the-art ultra-high field (7T) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to precisely characterize these neural systems in individual participants, including neurotypical adults and individuals with cerebellar damage. This position is NIH-funded and available immediately. The postdoc candidate will work closely with Dr. Bohland and the larger research team. Responsibilities will vary based on qualifications, experience, and specific interests, but will include involvement in experimental design and implementation of protocols, carrying out sophisticated fMRI data analyses, interpreting results within contemporary theories of (speech) motor control, and preparing manuscripts and presentations. Individuals should have completed a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Psychology, Communication Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, or a related discipline.
