Job description

Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the excellence of our academic community.


Postdoctoral research fellow - Human movement disorders electrophysiology and neural engineering

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher at the intersection of neuroscience, machine learning, and clinical neural engineering to join a collaborative team developing the next generation of intelligent deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems for movement disorders.

Dr. Miocinovic is a movement disorders neurologist and a biomedical engineer with expertise in translational and clinical electrophysiology. Her laboratory at Emory University focuses on brain circuits involved in motor and cognitive behaviors in Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. We investigate how to treat these disorders by modulating neural activity, primarily with DBS, and work on developing next-generation neuromodulation approaches. The methods used in the lab include intracranial recordings during DBS surgeries and non-invasive (EEG, EMG, kinematic) recordings in the clinic. These approaches are enhanced by advanced imaging techniques, biophysical computational modeling, quantitative symptom monitoring, behavioral tasks, and machine learning.

A postdoctoral fellow would spearhead a project to develop automated DBS programming platform using electrophysiologic signals recorded in the operating room and tested in the clinic and at home. The project is a close collaboration with Dr. Matthew Gombolay at Georgia Tech’s School of Computing, and involves real-time deployment of machine learning algorithms.

This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in translational neural engineering. We offer cutting-edge scientific projects, attentive mentoring and multi-disciplinary collaborations in a world-class research environment at Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology.
