Job Description:
A postdoctoral researcher position studying electrocortical activity during human navigation is available in the laboratory of Dr. Daniel Ferris (https://faculty.eng.ufl.edu/human-neuromechanics-laboratory).

The postdoctoral research will work on a currently funded NIH project (R01 AG089050) designed to identify neural correlates of cognitive-motor impairments in older adults.

Subjects will walk overground with an immersive virtual reality headset while we monitor their brain activity.
