The Kahnt Lab at Northwestern University (labs.feinberg.northwestern.edu/kahnt/) is looking to fill an open position.
The ideal candidate will be team-oriented, self-driven, and brings a unique perspective and background to the lab.
We study the neural systems that support learning, decision making, and olfaction in humans.
Experimental techniques include functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion MRI (dMRI), olfactory psychophysics, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
We utilize advanced data analysis techniques including multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) and encoding models, and we link behavioral and neural data using computational modeling.
Our research also aims to better understand the neural basis of behavioral deficits in neuropsychiatric conditions, including substance use disorder and dementia.
The Kahnt Lab is a multidisciplinary team working on a variety of questions using cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience techniques.
We value curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness. We also seek to provide opportunities for professional growth and support individual career development.
Job Description:
• Conceptualization and design of research projects in healthy adults and clinical populations
• Project execution and data collection involving fMRI, dMRI and TMS
