Announcing the Sue Berghoff Lewy Body Dementia Research Fellowship:

Post-Doctoral Position at Stanford University

The Poston Lab at Stanford University Department of Neurology & Neurological Sciences is seeking a full-time Post-Doctoral Research Fellow dedicated to biomarker discovery in people with Lewy Body Dementia.

If you…

• Are interested in neurodegenerative diseases of aging, such as Lewy Body diseases and Parkinson’s disease
• Have substantial experience with data analytic techniques and statistics
• Are exceptionally organized and can balance multiple projects at one time

Then we offer…

• The opportunity to contribute to understanding Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s disease
• Challenging but positive environment where you will always learn new things
• Teamwork and camaraderie
• Competitive full time salary
• Excellent Stanford benefits

The Poston Lab leverages existing Stanford-specific research infrastructure from the Stanford Alzheimer’s disease Research Center and the Pacific Udall Center for Excellence in Parkinson’s Research.  These Centers collect in-depth clinical, biological, and imaging data on people with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, as well as people with Lewy Body Dementia and older adults with no neurological problems.  The Poston Lab is highly integrated with several other neuroscience labs at Stanford (Wyss-Coray, Andreasson, Greicius, Mormino, Montine, for example), which provides a rich scientific and collaborative community. Our dedicated Lewy Body Dementia Research Fellow would aim to use this data to identify a biomarker that would improve diagnostic accuracy, predict clinical symptoms, or identify underlying pathology.  Such a biomarker is critical to the success of future LBD-specific clinical trials.

Successful applicants will have completed a PhD in neuroscience, clinical neuropsychology or a related field, and have a strong record of productivity that includes neurodegenerative, biomarker, or neuroimaging publications. Individuals with an interest in the cognitive and behavioral aspects of Parkinson’s disease and Lewy Body Dementia are particularly encouraged to apply. Candidates will need a high level of experience in Statistics to both support other members of the group as well as to advance the overall aims of the lab through their own work.  We like working with other smart, motivated, fun people looking to better the lives of our patients through scientific discovery and innovation.

Interested applicants can send their CV, three letters of reference, and a cover letter describing their research interests and career goals to Dr. Kathleen Poston (klposton@stanford.edu).

Clinical Research Coordinator Associate

The Human Motor Control and Neuromodulation Lab is part of the Stanford Movement Disorders Center within the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. We are seeking an experienced, full-time research assistant to join a dynamic and fun diverse group of post-doctoral fellows, graduate students and research scientists.

The goal of the research in the laboratory is to understand the pathophysiology of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and tremor. At Stanford, innovations in neural interface technology have allowed us to discover how abnormal electrical brain activity contributes to disorders in movement. In the Human Motor Control and Neuromodulation Lab, the first decoding of electrical activity in deep brain structures during abnormal movement in Parkinson’s disease patients was performed using novel and investigative sensing neurostimulators. Our team has deconstructed brain activity to discover the neural code responsible for the abnormality of walking in Parkinson’s disease, and can predict debilitating freezing events that can cause falls, significant morbidity, and even death. This has enabled us to reverse engineer brain circuitry and restore movement in Parkinson’s disease using the first closed loop, demand-based brain pacemakers that respond to neural and kinematic markers of movement impairment.

The current position offers an exceptional opportunity for a motivated and intellectually curious individual to participate in rewarding and cutting-edge research in human motor control and neurophysiology in Parkinson’s disease.

The position involves direct human subject interaction and testing, the collection, organization and analysis of electrophysiological and kinematic data, and participation in the publication of results. The candidate will participate in the submission and renewal of Institutional Review Board and grant applications in conjunction with the research team and the PI. The desired candidate is a self-motivated, independent worker who is interested in facilitating the development of new research avenues. The ideal candidate would have a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience, engineering (biomedical, mechanical, electrical), or a similar field with a strong quantitative background. Previous experience in motor control, gait, kinematics, neuroimaging, and/or movement disorders is a plus.
