Jobs & Fellowships
Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship
Two year fellowship available within the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI), in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), for research training in cognitive (neuro)science and (neuro)rehabilitation. MRRI scientists, and their fellows, conduct research in one or more of the following areas:
- imaging findings, treatments and outcomes of traumatic brain injury (TBI),
- cognitive neuroscience of action in healthy and stroke participants,
- language and aphasia.
TBI research includes recovery from minimally conscious/vegetative states and treatments for behavioral, emotional, and cognitive regulation, as well as use of structural and functional imaging to inform prognosis and treatment selection. Action research includes motor planning/motor learning, spatial representation, and selection of objects for action. Language research includes normal and impaired (aphasic) speech production and comprehension, with particular emphasis on semantic and syntactic aspects of processing. MRRI research also examines mechanisms of cognitive impairment after stroke and TBI and the behavioral and neural impact of training and drug-based treatment.
Available research mentors include John Whyte, Tessa Hart, Laurel Buxbaum, Steve Jax, Junghoon Kim and Dan Mirman. Collaborations at Penn allow training in neural imaging, voxelwise lesion-symptom mapping, and TMS. Candidates should have a doctorate in neuropsychology/neuroscience, experimental psychology, rehabilitation psychology, rehabilitation sciences, rehabilitation medicine or related field, and must be interested in developing an independent research career.
MRRI/Penn are recognized by a Rehabilitation Research Infrastructure grant from NIH (www.ncrrn.org). Send CV and letter detailing research interests and goals to:

Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship
Two year fellowship available within the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI), in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), for research training in cognitive (neuro)science and (neuro)rehabilitation. MRRI scientists, and their fellows, conduct federally funded research in three main areas:
- treatments and outcomes of traumatic brain injury (TBI),
- cognitive neuroscience of action in healthy and stroke participants,
- language and aphasia.
TBI research includes recovery from minimally conscious/vegetative states and treatments for behavioral, emotional, and cognitive regulation. Action research includes motor planning/motor learning, spatial representation, and selection of objects for action. Language research includes normal and impaired (aphasic) speech production and comprehension, with particular emphasis on semantic and syntactic aspects of processing. MRRI research also examines mechanisms of cognitive impairment after stroke and TBI and the behavioral and neural impact of training and drug-based treatment.
Available research mentors include John Whyte, Tessa Hart, Laurel Buxbaum, Steve Jax, Myrna Schwartz, and Dan Mirman. Collaborations at Penn allow training in neural imaging, voxelwise lesion-symptom mapping, and TMS. Candidates should have a doctorate in neuropsychology/neuroscience, experimental psychology, rehabilitation psychology, rehabilitation sciences, rehabilitation medicine or related field, and must be interested in developing an independent research career.

Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship
Two year fellowship available within the MossRehab Research Institute (MRRI), in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), for research training in cognitive (neuro)science and (neuro)rehabilitation. MRRI scientists conduct federally funded research on normal cognition and language; mechanisms of cognitive impairment after stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI); and the behavioral and neural impact of training and drug-based treatment. Fellows receive hands-on training in one or more specialty areas, including: cognitive rehabilitation of TBI; disorders of language processing (aphasia); the cognitive neuropsychology of motor planning and skilled action; and the cognitive neuroscience of attention and cognitive control. Available research mentors include Myrna Schwartz, John Whyte, Laurel Buxbaum, Tessa Hart, Junghoon Kim, and Steve Jax. Collaborations at Penn allow training in neuroimaging, voxelwise lesion-symptom mapping, and TMS. Candidates should have a doctorate in neuropsychology; cognitive psychology; psychology of language; rehabilitation medicine or related field, and be interested in developing an independent research career.
