[visionlist] Post-Doc in Embodied Cognition and Action

[Laurel Buxbaum]

A post-doctoral position is available in the Cognition and Action Laboratory
directed by Dr. Laurel Buxbaum at Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute
(MRRI). The postdoctoral fellow will take a lead role in designing and
conducting experimental work in the domain of embodied cognition, focusing
on the relationships between action representations and object
representations using behavioral, eye-tracking, and TMS experiments with
stroke, corticobasal degeneration, and healthy populations, and will
incorporate state of the art lesion mapping methods.
 
MRRI is a vibrant collaborative research community focusing on cognitive
neuroscience and cognitive rehabilitation. In addition to primary research
with Dr. Buxbaum, the post provides opportunities to collaborate with Drs.
Myrna Schwartz, Steve Jax, and Dan Mirman, as well as researchers at
University of Pennsylvania including Dr. Branch Coslett. Training will be
provided in voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping, TMS and tDCS, and functional
neuroimaging.
 
The successful candidate will have a doctorate in cognitive
psychology, cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience, or
related field, a strong interest in cognitive neuropsychology, and be
interested in developing an independent research career. Send CV, letter
describing research interests and goals, and at least 2 letters of
recommendation to Dr. Laurel Buxbaum at lbuxbaum at einstein.edu.
