Join Us

The lab is actively developing and seeking several new members at the levels of postdocs, graduate students, and research assistants/coordinators. Join us as we build an innovative translational team at the interface of technology development, neurocognitive research, and clinical trials in personalized and adaptive transcranial brain stimulation. See more about our Research. Becoming a member of the expanding lab will give you exceptional prospects for shaping future research projects, tailored mentoring, and flexible conditions. If you are interested and would like to discuss the opportunities within or outside those outlined below – don’t hesitate to contact us.

Several positions for postdoctoral scholars are available in cognitive/affective neuroscience and neuroengineering!

Postdocs will be hired directly to the lab. Based on the candidate’s interest, our lab provides support and mentoring for postdoctoral fellowship applications. Prospective candidates should have (1) a PhD in human neuroscience, cognitive sciences, computer sciences, biomedical engineering, or a related field by start date, (2) experimental or development experience with one or more lab techniques as evident by journal publications or conference materials, and (3) a readiness to learn and apply both computational and human experimental methods. Proficiency in some of the following is a plus: MATLAB/Python coding, EEG/MRI analysis, cognitive/mental health assessment instruments, finite element method modeling, and statistics/machine learning.

Prospective postdocs will get exceptional prospects for shaping the future of precision brain stimulation therapies. We offer a highly interdisciplinary environment, tailored mentoring, and extensive support for career development, ensuring that you can grow and succeed in your field. There are plenty of on-site and national opportunities for collaborations with clinical neuroscience and biomedical engineering groups, formal and informal training, and access to research-dedicated MRI scanners, computational servers, and human phenotyping resources.

The candidate will be expected to build a consistent publication record, contribute to applications for extramural funding, collaborate with other team members and outside groups, attend national meetings, and effectively communicate research findings.

The position is initially offered for one year with up to three years extension. It comes with a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, disability insurance, retirement benefits, and childcare support, and a competitive salary range of $61,000-$74,000 per year, dependent on the candidate’s background and experience.

Find more information about a postdoc’s life at NU at Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, Northwestern University Postdoctoral Association, and by talking to us! Include a brief cover letter in the email’s body, attach a CV and representative examples of research work. The recommendations will be solicited at an advanced interview stage.

We are recruiting PhD and PhD-MD students interested in development and applications of precision closed-loop brain stimulation with neuroimaging for mental and cognitive health therapies. There are several opportunities at different programs and departments across the Chicago and Evanston Campuses, depending on the candidates’ interests. General information can be found at The Graduate School (TGS) website as well as biomedical engineering (BME) graduate program, medical scientist training program (MSTP), and northwestern university interdepartmental neuroscience (NUIN) program websites. Contact us for more details about the specific projects and opportunities.

There are rolling opportunities for undergraduate students and postbacs in cognitive sciences, neuroscience, or biomedical engineering interested in developing practical skills in human neurocognitive experiments using personalized transcranial brain stimulation techniques and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG). Reach out to discuss.
