Post-doctoral staða auglýst 

Three post-doctoral positions are available in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of South Carolina (Columbia, SC). Prospective hires will join a research team headed by Julius Fridriksson (www.sc.edu/comd/fridriks) and Chris Rorden (www.mricro.com) whose labs are funded by three R01 grants from the NIH. The primary research foci of the labs are as follows: 1) audio-visual speech integration; 2) spatial processing; and 3) neurophysiology of aphasia recovery. This research relies on a range of methodologies such as functional MRI, lesion-symptom mapping, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The University of South Carolina has a Siemens Trio MRI scanner that is primarily devoted to research as well as a state-of-the-art TMS setup. Columbia is centrally located in South Carolina, within a two-hour drive to the beach and the mountains. The weather in Columbia is marked by “Southern” Summers, and a mild Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Although the start date for each of the three positions is set for 8/2009, an earlier or later start date is negotiable. Salaries will be commensurate with experience and previous scholarship. The ideal applicant for these positions will work as a part of a research team as well as have the chance to initiate and carry out independent projects. Applicants should submit a CV, statement-of-purpose, and a list of three references to Julius Fridriksson ( Þetta tölvupóstfang er varið gegn ruslpósts þjörkum, Þú verður að hafa JavaScript virkt til að sjá það. ) or Chris Rorden ( Þetta tölvupóstfang er varið gegn ruslpósts þjörkum, Þú verður að hafa JavaScript virkt til að sjá það. ).
