Job Description:

The Department of Neurology at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join a dynamic human neuroscience research lab focused on Parkinson's disease (PD). Our lab is dedicated to identifying novel neuroimaging biomarkers to track disease progression and understanding the neural mechanisms underlying motor and non-motor features of PD. This is a full-time, funded position for a minimum of one year, with the possibility of extension based on performance and funding availability. The successful candidate will play a key role in designing, conducting, and analyzing data from innovative research studies that combine advanced MRI techniques with cutting-edge brain stimulation methods, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), to improve the lives of individuals with Parkinson's disease. The candidate will be responsible for supporting an NIH-funded research program that focuses on understanding how STN DBS causes changes in cognition and modulates cognitive networks.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead the analysis and writing of manuscripts for peer-review scientific journals
  • Acquire and analyze neurocognitive data and multimodal MRI neuroimaging data (e.g., fMRI, DTI)
  • Prepare and manage Institutional Review Board (IRB) applications and ensure compliance with all human subject’s research regulations
  • Contribute to the preparation of grant applications
  • Implement and conduct non-invasive and invasive brain stimulation protocols (TMS, DBS)
  • Prepare research and present at scientific meetings
  • Assist in mentoring junior lab members, including graduate and undergraduate students

Requirements:

  • A Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field
  • A strong research background with a track record of peer-reviewed publications
  • Excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a research team

Nice to have:

  • Demonstrated experience with human neuroimaging analysis software (e.g., FSL, SPM, AFNI, FreeSurfer)
  • Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in neuroscience research (e.g., Python, MATLAB, R, shell scripting)
  • Experience preparing and managing IRB protocols for human subjects research
  • Hands-on experience with neurocognitive testing in healthy or clinical populations
  • Prior experience with brain stimulation techniques (TMS, DBS) is highly desirable
  • Experience working with clinical populations, particularly individuals with movement disorders
What we offer:
  • Access to state-of-the-art research facilities, including 3T MRI scanners and a comprehensive suite of brain stimulation technologies
  • Work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment with leading clinicians and scientists
  • Opportunity for career development, including mentorship for grant writing (e.g., K awards), manuscript publication, and presentation at international conferences
