Duties

  • Proactively contribute to grant development - from conceptualizing aims to drafting sections (rationale, methods), producing figures, and generating preliminary data.
  • Design and execute experiments in in-vivo electrophysiology and/or neuromodulation.
  • For intracranial/BCI projects: plan tasks, oversee acquisition and preprocessing, perform spike/LFP analysis and basic decoding; integrate hardware/software as needed.
  • Analyze data in Python/MATLAB with robust QC, statistics, and reproducible visualization; build reusable analysis pipelines.
  • Collaborate with clinical and lab teams to schedule sessions, align timelines, and uphold patient-safety and workflow requirements.
  • Prepare manuscripts, posters, and abstracts.
  • Qualifications

  • PhD must be awarded within the previous 5 years in neuroscience or a related field.
  • Strong scholarly track record (first-author publications) and experience with grant submissions, especially in Canada.
  • Clear academic trajectory toward a future faculty role, evidenced by initiative in grant proposals and manuscripts, ownership of sub-projects, and collaborative leadership within a lab.
  • Hands-on expertise in at least one: in-vivo electrophysiology, neuromodulation (, DBS), human intracranial electrophysiology (sEEG), or BCI.
  • Experience acquiring/analyzing neural signals (spikes, LFP, ECoG), including intraoperative or EMU recordings; familiarity with intracranial electrode technology.
  • Proficiency in Python or MATLAB for signal processing, statistics, and visualization; reproducible workflows (version control, notebooks).
  • Familiarity with recording hardware/software (, Ripple, TDT, Intan, Neuropixels, Neurolynx, an…
