      How to Apply / Who to contact?
      Send a CV and the contact information for 3 references to Prof. Rebecca Irwin at rirwin3@ur.rochester.edu.
  • Lalor Lab for Computational Cognitive Neurophysiology
    • Position General Description:  Postdoctoral Fellow 
      -This research position is will investigate how the human brain encodes complex and natural stimuli (especially speech), and how that encoding is affected by attention, prediction, and multisensory input.
      -The work will focus on modelling brain responses to such stimuli in healthy, neurotypical adults with opportunities to explore how such processing differs in certain clinical populations (especially people with schizophrenia).
    • Position Qualifications
      Candidates should have a PhD in either:
      -Psychology, Neuroscience or a related discipline with experience in the use of computational methods to analyse neural signals (or at least a strong motivation to learn)
      -Engineering, Computer Science or a related discipline with a keen interest in neuroscience.
      How to Apply / Who to contact?
      Informal inquiries may be made to Dr Edmund Lalor at elalor@ur.rochester.edu.
      To apply for the position, please submit a CV, short cover letter and contact information for two referees to Dr Edmund Lalor at elalor@ur.rochester.edu.
  • Lee Mechanobiology Lab
    • Position General Description:  Postdoctoral Fellow & Grad Student
      - This position will examine the role of Mechanosensing channels in cellular morphology and inflammatory signaling using Red blood cells (RBCs), chondrocytes, and pain-sensory neurons harvested from mouse, pig, or human tissues.
      - Microscopy and molecular biology techniques will be used to capture dynamic and spatio-temporal changes in molecular, cellular, and tissue level. Eg.  Mechanosensitive channel activity, gene regulations, mechanotransduction and metabolism.
      - Project is funded with NIH R01AR082349 and R35GM147054.
    • Position Qualifications
      - For postdoc, experience with musculoskeletal research or neurobiology using mouse models, or tissue engineering and drug delivery.
      - For Graduate student in BME and CMPP program can learn skills in laboratory. The basic cell biology and microscopy experience are needed.
      - For undergraduate student in BME, ME, Biology, Biochemistry can learn and practice with researchers in lab. After 1 year of training, students are expected to present their work at internal or external conferences (BMES, ORS, annual CMSR symposium, annual CMPP symposium, EXPO, etc.).
      How to Apply / Who to contact?
      Send a CV and the contact information for 3 references to Prof. Whasil Lee wlee36@ur.rochester.edu.

  • Uddin Lab
    • Position General Description:  Postdoctoral Fellow
      -The postdoctoral associate will work on an NIH-funded project to develop and enhance chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI using compressed sensing and prior-based artificial intelligence techniques.
    • Position Qualifications
      -The ideal candidate must hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Physics with a focus on MRI and have experience in MRI sequence development and image processing, preferably in neuroimaging.
      -Programming experience, including but not limited to Matlab/Python, machine/deep learning, and UNIX scripting, is also essential. Strong oral and written communication skills are critical.
      -Familiarity with Siemens pulse programming would be a significant advantage.
    • How to Apply / Who to contact?
      Applicants should email a CV along with details about recent research interests and activities to Dr. Nasir Uddin (nasir_uddin@urmc.rochester.edu)

  • UR Medicine Motion Analysis Laboratories
    • Position General Description:  Internship Opportunity
      -We are now accepting applications for the upcoming semester's internship program.
      Research Orthopedics Biomechanist Interns are responsible for assisting in the disability and functional diagnosis of patients with musculoskeletal disorders and neurological disorders.
      -Our multi-department infrastructure including #orthopedics, #rehabilitation, #biomedicalengineering, #neuroscience, and #physicaltherapy will rely on this information to develop patients' specific interventions. A wide range of advanced clinical and biomechanics tools will be available to interns, enabling them to gain experience in these areas, including Motion Capture Systems, Electromyography (EMG) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) systems, Force Plates, Instrumented Treadmills, Computerized Dynamic Posturography, Oxygen Consumption System, and Big Clinical Database.
