PDF opportunity alert!
We're looking to hire a postdoc with interests in the neurophysiology of rapid visually-guided actions. This work builds on a stream of research detailing the profile of upper limb muscle recruitment in humans and non-human primates. The research will involve recording and inactivation of neural activity in cortical and subcortical areas. Experience with neurophysiological recordings in non-human primates is particularly desired, as is experience with EMG recordings in humans or animals. This position is funded by a project grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and the successful candidate will join a collaboration with the Pruszynski lab, as well as international collaborations with groups in Australia, the Netherlands, and the United States.​
Applications or questions should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file titled Lastname_Firstname.pdf directly to bcorneil@uwo.ca
The file should include:
1. a CV, including a list of publications,
2. a short statement of research interests outlining current experience and plans for future research. We have ideas for this project, but are always interested in new ideas too. Feel free to propose something!
3. names and contact information for three academic referees.
Joining the lab as a Grad student or undergrad
We're expanding!
​
The Corneil lab has multiple opportunities for grad students (MSc or PhD). Starting time is flexible. Major research topics include the brain circuits mediating our most rapid responses and how such circuits change in aging and diseases like Parkinson's Disease. We also leverage our understanding of these circuits to better understand novel forms of non-invasive brain stimulation. Collaborations with local and international colleagues make for an outstanding research environment.
We're always on the lookout for new trainees with an interest in neuroscience, so please reach out with a CV and statement of interest. The research we do is involves some coding, so please reference your skills along these lines if you have them (no worries if not). Send these directly to Dr. Corneil at bcorneil@uwo.ca
​​
Applications from graduate students can be strengthened by relating your interests and/or background to ongoing work in the lab. Tell me why you are specifically interested in joining the lab! ​
​
Graduate students with a background or interest in Neuroscience, Physiology, Psychology, Computer Science or Biomedical Engineering are encouraged to consider joining the lab. Students are usually supervised through the Graduate Program in Neuroscience, but arrangements can also be made through the graduate programs in Physiology & Pharmacology, or Psychology.
​
Undergraduate students wishing to do their honours undergraduate thesis in the lab should contact Dr. Corneil and the appropriate coordinator in the undergrad program in Neuroscience. We typically don't take volunteers, but opportunities for undergrads may come up periodically.
