We currently have the following open positions:
Postdoc
We seek individuals proficient with the development and testing of novel transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and other stimulation methods to evaluate research questions related to free will, consciousness, sense of agency, and higher brain functions.
The preferred applicant will have a doctoral degree in the areas of human motor neurophysiology, motor systems neuroscience or motor control. Experience in the use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (e.g. TMS, tDCS, tES, Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)) is preferred.
Contact us at brain@chapman.edu for more information.
We seek individuals with expertise in sleep EEG, sleep medicine and sleep neurophysiology. Ideal candidates would have a PhD (or MD/PhD) in neuroscience, psychology, engineering or a related discipline.
In addition, expertise in data analysis, a background in computational neuroscience and/or signal processing, proficiency in Matlab/Python/R and method/algorithm development are preferred. The following are also beneficial: experience with EEG data analysis/methodology, background in cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology and sleep; interest/experience with clinical populations; and experience in task design and analysis for cognitive experiments.
