Summary

The Bijanki Translational Neuroscience and Neuromodulation Laboratory is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to lead a project on elucidating the neurophysiological mechanisms of affective and social dysfunction and the mechanisms by which deep brain stimulation achieves therapeutic benefit in Treatment-Resistant Depression. The first aim of this project is to develop new computational techniques to analyze the relationship between local field potential recordings and mood-related behavior. The second aim is to use brain stimulation to demonstrate directed modulation of mood in human subjects. This position will provide rigorous exposure and mentorship in the neurophysiology underlying psychiatric neuromodulation.
