The central goal of our research program is to harness systems neuroscience and neural engineering principles to restore motor function after brain injury (http://gangulylab.org/). The motor network is a highly adaptive system of interconnected cortical and subcortical areas that are implicated in learning and execution. While numerous studies have mapped its functional connectivity and assigned distinct roles to each area, we still lack a detailed understanding of the time-varying functions of the distributed motor system in both the intact and the injured motor network. Our research takes a systems level perspective to the neurobiology underlying motor control under normal and pathological conditions. This position will help manage the lab (20%) and conduct research studies (80%). Required Qualifications
