Additional Job Details (if applicable)
The Brain Modulation Lab (Department of Neurosurgery, Massachusetts General Hospital) is a human systems neuroscience lab that studies brainelectrophysiology and behavior in patients undergoing surgery for epilepsy,movement disorders, and psychiatric disease. The goal of our work is to facilitate the development and optimization of electrical and biological brain modulation therapies by addressing critical gaps in our understanding of human brain function.

We are looking for a motivated, detail-oriented, and talented individual to coordinate a clinical research study of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease and to assist in the acquisition and management of neuraland behavioral data. The study focuses on Evoked Resonant Neural Activity(ERNA), a brain signal elicited by electrical stimulation and recorded directly from the DBS electrode. We record ERNA during DBS implantation surgery and measure patients’ motor responses to stimulation at postoperative programming visits.

The long-term goal is to make DBS surgery and programming faster and more widely available. The Clinical Research Coordinator will work under the supervision of the PIs (Alan Bush, PhD, and Mark Richardson, MD, PhD), in close collaboration with Todd Herrington, MD, PhD (Director of the MGH Deep Brain Stimulation Program), Pranav Nanda, MD, MPhil (Co-Director, Brain Modulation Lab) and other research scientists, and will routinely interact with patients.
