Dr. Doris Wang (https://doriswanglab.ucsf.edu/) is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to study the neurophysiology of human fine motor learning and motor memory consolidation using sensing-enabled, deep brain stimulation devices.

This is an exciting and rare opportunity to investigator cortico-basal ganglia network interactions during human motor learning and how motor sequences are encoded in the brain. The project involves using next generator bidirectional implanted neurostimulation devices that wirelessly stream cortical and basal ganglia physiology data remotely from patients, in their homes chronically. 

The project will used signal processing and machine learning methods to identify biomarker of motor learning and offline motor learning during sleep. The position will involve some data collection and interacting with patients.

Our team involves a multidisciplinary group of clinicians, biomedical engineers, neuroscientists, and physical therapists at UCSF.

This work is supported by the Burroughs-Wellcome Fund.
