Postdoctoral Scholar

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. The fellow will have access to state-of-the-art research facilities, including 3T MRI scanners and a comprehensive suite of brain stimulation technologies. They willwork in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment with leading clinicians and scientists in the fields of neurology, neuroscience, and biomedical imaging. This position offers an excellent opportunity for career development, including mentorship for grant writing (e.g., K awards), manuscript publication, and presentation at international conferences.
