The Computational Memory Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania is hiring a Clinical Research Specialist to assist in the development of a novel brain stimulation therapy for patients with memory impairment. This full-time position is funded by DARPA as part of the Restoring Active Memory (RAM) project, a flagship neuro-engineering project within President Obama’s BRAIN Initiative. The successful candidate will join a multi-disciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, data scientists, and software developers to study the ways in which the brain stores and retrieves verbal and spatial memories. The selected candidate will administer memory tests and collect electrophysiological recordings from neurosurgical patients at medical centers in the Philadelphia area. He/she will also interface with research staff at leading neuroscience institutions around the country, coordinate regulatory submissions, process behavioral and electrophysiological data to produce experiment session reports, communicate results to physicians, and perform regular data quality audits. The ideal candidate possesses excellent interpersonal and organizational skills, a passion for advanced cutting-edge medical research and technology development, and some programming experience. This would be an ideal position for someone interested in ultimately pursuing graduate training in cognitive neuroscience, medicine, psychology, or bioengineering.

The Computational Memory Lab is currently seeking applications for the following positions:

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

The Computational Memory Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral fellow to collaborate with Dr. Kahana's team on the electrophysiology of human memory, as studied both through passive recordings and direct brain stimulation. The successful applicant will become part of a multi-center effort to study learning and memory in neurosurgical patients who have implanted electrodes for seizure mapping. As part of this project, we are developing a novel brain stimulation therapy for patients with memory disorders, which involves collaboration with six different clinical and research centers.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have a strong quantitative background (e.g., multivariate methods such as machine learning, dimensionality reduction, and pattern similarity analysis). Applicants should send their CV, publications and a list of references to Dr. Kahana at kahana@psych.upenn.edu.
