OverviewThe Department of Neurology has an opening for a motivated, full-time postdoctoral fellow to support the CU Neuromagnetic lab. This position is anticipated to be for 2 or more years. The postdoctoral fellow will work independently under the supervision of Dr. Isabelle Buard to assist in investigating oscillatory patterns of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) during sleep and their relationship with sleep quality and memory consolidation. We are seeking an individual who is collaborative, communicative, organized, proactive, able to think critically, focused on quality and dedicated to personal growth. The CU Neuromagnetic lab at CU Denver exists since 1975 and has been involved in many MEG “firsts”. These include first recording of the magnetic equivalent of the P50 auditory evoked magnetic field and the first published MEG recordings in non-human primates. Several patient populations were first studied in Denver with MEG as well: 1) patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and Fragile X syndrome. Our current research projects focus on movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases, as well as on clinical populations with traumatic brain injuries.
