Postdoctoral Scholar (Postdoc)

Postdoctoral Scholar in Pediatric Deep Brain StimulationThe Sanger Lab at UC Irvine is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar to join a collaborative project focused on developing novel deep brain stimulation (DBS) technologies and algorithms for the treatment of childhood dystonia and other movement disorders. Our lab works closely with pediatric patients undergoing DBS surgery, acquiring rich multi-modal datasets including electrophysiology (local field potentials and single-unit recordings), kinematics, and behavioral performance. Analyze neural signals (LFPs, single-unit, multi-unit) from human recordings· Collaborate on hardware/software integration for closed-loop DBS systems· Mentor graduate and undergraduate researchers· Present findings at national and international conferences· Contribute to manuscripts and grant proposals· Pursue independent research aligned with the lab’s goalsPhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, or related field· Proven record of publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals· Hands-on experience with neurophysiology (human or animal), including single-unit and/or LFP recordings· Strong background in biosignal analysis, *****- Power spectral density (PSD) analysis- Evoked potential analysis- Programming proficiency in at least one of the ***** Python, MATLAB, or C· Ability to work independently and mentor junior lab membersExperience with real-time systems, microcontrollers, or FPGA programming· Knowledge of bioamplifier design or hardware/software co-design· Experience analyzing behavioral or kinematic data alongside neural signals· Prior research experience in movement disorders, motor control, or clinical DBSThe lab offers access to high-performance computing, a collaborative research environment, and opportunities to contribute to high-impact clinical neuroscience. Funding includes support for travel to national and international
