Our Institute's Cognitive-Motor Learning Laboratory, led by Dr. Aaron Wong, has an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow interested in the intersection of cognition and motor neuroscience.

This role involves research to understand how people learn and plan complex, real-world behaviors. The successful applicant will use behavioral testing and neuroimaging methods to investigate how people monitor their performance during skilled tool-use actions, and how this error awareness is disrupted following stroke.

For patients in the early period after a brain injury, impaired consciousness and communication may prevent accurate reporting of symptoms. Identifying and managing noxious conditions is important in this population, and the Brain Injury Nociception Assessment Measure (BINAM) is an observation-based tool for measuring nocioception in unconscious or conscious patients with or without agitation. Visit our website to learn more about this useful tool developed by our Institute researchers and collaborators. https://rehabilitationresearch.jefferson.edu/innovations/brain-injury-nociception-assessment-measure.html
