Positions available in the Multimodal Functional Imaging Lab - Montreal Canada
McGill University / Concordia University

After receiving funding for a research project entitled “How is neurovascular coupling impacted by the occurrence of epileptic activity during sleep: a whole night personalized EEG/fNIRS investigation”, we are happy to announce several positions available in my laboratory, the Multimodal Functional Imaging Lab, affiliated to Concordia University (Concordia School of Health, Physics) and McGill University (Montreal Neurological Institute – epilepsy group, Biomedical Engineering). We are proposing a multimodal study, involving EEG/MEG, simultaneous EEG/fMRI and whole night EEG/fNIRS recordings to study sleep in healthy controls and interactions between sleep and epileptic activity in patients.

Research associate position:

We are looking for a research associate holding a PhD in biomedical engineering/neuroimaging/neurosciences with expertise in programming and software management, as well as excellent skills in organization and team working. The candidate will be more specifically in charge of multimodal data acquisition (sensors installation, whole night recordings), database management and data analysis.

MD postdoc position:

We are looking for a clinical postdoc. The fellow will be mainly based at McGill University (Montreal Neurological Institute), will join a multidisciplinary team and have the opportunity to get involved in projects involving multimodal data acquisitions and advanced analyses (EEG/MEG, high density EEG, whole night EEG/fNIRS) for applications in epilepsy presurgical mapping and sleep studies. We are looking for a postdoctoral fellowship, a MD candidate (neurologist) with previous training in epileptology and electrophysiology (EEG /intracranial EEG). Expertise in sleep characterization and diagnosis using polysomnography would be an asset. The candidate should be fluent in English (and if possible French) due to the patient population studied. Applicants must have their degree in neurology to be considered as postdoctoral fellow by the University and are required to have demonstrated clinical expertise in epileptology and electrophysiology.

PhD student positions:

We are looking for two PhD candidates to join our multimodal projects, involving EEG/MEG source imaging and advanced analysis and reconstructions of fNIRS data, in sleep and epilepsy. The ideal candidates should have MSc in biomedical, electrical and computer engineering or neurosciences, with good programming skills (Matlab, Python) and expertise in neuroimaging.

For all positions we are looking for applicants who have excellent organizational skills, an aptitude for teamwork, and good writing skills. A productive publication records as well as experience in the use EEG/MEG softwares or fNIRS softwares will constitute an asset.
