About The Position

The Associate in Research would join a lab at Duke University. The Lab employs a variety of quantifiable tools in order to shed light on neurophysiological and pathological processes in the human brain. In particular, the Lab’s research seeks to investigate the important interactions between sleep and epilepsy, develop novel seizure-independent EEG markers of the epileptogenic zone in order to achieve a more accurate diagnosis of epilepsy, and use invasive intracranial EEG to study brain physiology during wakefulness and sleep in order to better delineate normal from abnormal brain activity. The Lab’s ultimate goal is to improve the care of people with epilepsy.
