The Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI) seeks a post-doctoral research fellow to join an exciting project investigating the cognitive and sensorimotor bases of arm nonuse after stroke. This is an exciting opportunity to make substantial contributions to a NIH-funded multi-disciplinary research program led by Drs. Laurel Buxbaum and Shailesh Kantak. The research involves innovating behavioral experiments using virtual reality, detailed clinical/behavioral phenotyping, and state-of-the-art structural and functional imaging.

We welcome applications from individuals with a doctorate in psychology, cognitive science, movement science, and kinesiology who are interested in advancing research at the cognitive-motor interface in neurotypical and stroke survivors. Applicants must have a track record in research, clear comprehension of research methods and experimental design, experience in statistics, and skill/experience in programming in R, python and/or MATLAB. Duties and responsibilities involve coordinating and supervising research assistants for data collection, entry and processing; conducting statistical analyses, interpreting findings and contributing to presentations and publications for dissemination. Candidates with a keen interest in developing an independent research career will be given preference.

Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, a part of Thomas Jefferson University, is a supportive, stimulating academic environment offering many training opportunities, including close collaboration with colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania, and is located near the vibrant city of Philadelphia.
