Job description

Summary

The Postdoctoral Associate will contribute to translational human neuroscience studies focused on intracranial electrophysiology, affective neuroscience, and adaptive neuromodulation in patients undergoing invasive monitoring or therapeutic neurostimulation. Ongoing projects investigate the neural dynamics underlying mood and cognitive states using intracranial EEG recordings, electrical stimulation, scalp EEG, and multimodal behavioral assessments.

Specific projects include development of computational approaches for modeling stimulation-induced brain state changes, optimization of stimulation parameters using machine learning and Bayesian optimization frameworks, analysis of electrophysiological biomarkers associated with affective processing and treatment response, and integration of neural recordings across intracranial and noninvasive modalities.

The Postdoctoral Associate will work closely with multidisciplinary collaborators in neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, engineering, and computational neuroscience to support both mechanistic neuroscience studies and translational neurotechnology development.

Baylor College of Medicine typically follows similar to the NIH stipulated stipend guidelines for Postdoctoral Associates.

Job Duties
  • Analyzes intracranial electrophysiology, scalp EEG, and behavioral datasets using advanced statistical and computational methods.
  • Develops and implements machine learning and Bayesian optimization approaches for adaptive neuromodulation and stimulation parameter optimization.
  • Contributes to experimental design, protocol development, and data interpretation for human neuroscience studies involving electrical brain stimulation and affective neuroscience paradigms.
  • Develops computational pipelines for neural signal processing, feature extraction, and multimodal data integration.
  • Prepares manuscripts, conference abstracts, figures, and presentations for scientific dissemination.
  • Assists with mentoring graduate students, research assistants, and trainees within the laboratory.
  • Participates in interdisciplinary meetings and collaborative research activities across institutional and external research teams.
  • Maintains compliance with institutional, IRB, and data security requirements related to human subjects research.
  • Performs other job-related duties as assigned.
Minimum Qualifications
  • MD or Ph.D. in Basic Science, Health Science, or a related field.
  • No experience required.
Preferred Qualifications
  • PhD training in electrical and computer engineering, computer science, biomedical engineering, neuroscience, bioinformatics, or related fields. 
  • Prior postdoctoral experience is desired.
