The Networks, Neuroscience, and Neuromodulation Lab in the UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences is recruiting a post-doctoral scholar to work on a foundation-funded project aimed at developing and testing personalized, circuit-targeted deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a treatment for severe treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. The project involves the use of stereoencephalography (SEEG) to map therapeutic targets prior to implantation with a chronic DBS device. We seek a post-doc who will assist in performing acquisition of human imaging and brain recordings, and data analysis for this DBS project. This project is funded by the Foundation for OCD Research.

The candidate must have a prior experience with analyzing intracranial or surface EEG data, preferably coupled with a strong background in predictive modeling using machine learning techniques. Previous experience in the field of neuromodulation is also desired. This is a highly multidisciplinary project where candidates with directly work with patients and clinicians, research coordinators, imaging collaborators, and neurosurgeons.
