This position is funded by a newly awarded 5-year NIH R01 grant with the goal to investigate transcranial temporal interference stimulation (TIS) and to optimize and translate it into an effective and efficient neuromodulation method for academic research and clinical practice. The fellow will develop novel optimization methods for high-density TIS and supervise a PhD student who will conduct simulations and optimizations using finite element modeling. The goal is to provide noninvasive and spatially specific treatment options to patients with brain disorders resistant to existing approaches.

If you are an undergraduate student interested in working on neuroscientific experiments for class credit or resume experience, please send us an email with your research interests and experience. Students from all majors and years are welcome to apply. If you are a good fit and choose to join the lab, you will be trained in running MRI sessions, administering brain stimulation, measuring EEG, and conducting cognitive and motor tests. After passing an evaluation and a supervision period, you will independently run experiment sessions. Current studies you can join are TIME, FOCI and ITEM. See Research for more information. Experiments are run on the NU campus, either Mon-Fri during office hours (TIME), or Mon-Sun (FOCI, ITEM), depending on your and participants' availability.

If you are an undergraduate student interested in working on brain stimulation modeling for class credit or resume experience, please send us an email with your research interests and experience. Students from all majors and years are welcome to apply. If you are a good fit and choose to join the lab, you will be trained in neuroanatomy, reading MRI scans, correcting image segmentations, and constructing head models. You will then work on building head models for various projects involving tCS, TMS, sEEG and TTF. See Research for more information. This work can be done at any time and place. We have one weekly online meeting with all students working on head models to discuss and facilitate progress.
