POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR - NARAYANAN LAB

There is an open Postdoctoral Scholar position for a creative, enthusiastic and highly motivated individual in the laboratory of Kumar Narayanan (https://narayanan.lab.uiowa.edu/ ) at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, Iowa City, IA.  We have a track record of innovative human neurophysiology. 

This individual will collaborate extensively with Prof. Soura Dasgupta in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Prof. Ergun Uc (MD) in Neurology.  Our group is focused on cortical dynamics and machine learning from human neurophysiology samples collected via EEG in several federally funded studies. Because we can correlate data from these diverse techniques with multimodal clinical and imaging methods to work in intraoperative human and rodent neurophysiology, this work will uniquely matter to patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Mastery of MATLAB, R, or Python is required.  Expertise in signal processing is also required. The candidate must have at least one first author publication.

Interested candidates should submit their Curriculum Vitae, and a cover letter with one paragraph describing past work, as well as one paragraph describing what project they are interested in the Narayanan lab. Please include complete contact information for at least three references.

The Narayanan laboratory is in the Iowa Neuroscience Institute and the Department of Neurology at the University of Iowa and located within the Pappajohn Biodiscovery Building. Dr. Narayanan and the Iowa Neuroscience institute are committed to the development of trainees.  Our trainees in the lab have gotten 4 NRSAs, 2 mentored NARSAD grants, and 2 K awards, and 5 trainees have gone on to tenure-track positions across the country.  We have ample professional development resources here at the University of Iowa. 

Iowa City is a vibrant mid-sized city that perennially ranks in the top 10 as a "Best Place to Live”). It is the first UNESCO City of Literature in the U.S. and hosts a wide variety of cultural, artistic, and sporting events year-round.
