Applications for two NIH-funded post-doctoral positions are invited for the Laboratory of Dr. Wilson Truccolo in the Department of Neuroscience at Brown University, Providence, RI, USA. The first position is for the development of data-driven stochastic models of multiscale neural dynamics in human epilepsy. Data consist of simultaneous recordings of ensembles of single neurons, local field potentials and ECoGs during seizure and non-seizure states in individuals with intractable epilepsy. The project involves a collaboration between the labs of Dr. Truccolo and Dr. Sydney Cash (Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston). The second position is for the development of stochastic models of intra- and inter-areal network dynamics in the motor cortex of nonhuman primates performing motor tasks. The project involves a collaboration between the labs of Dr. Truccolo and Dr. John Donoghue (Brown University). The ideal candidates for these 2 positions will have a strong background in computational/theoretical neuroscience and stochastic modeling of neural dynamics. For the first position, prior experience with epilepsy research is a plus. Inquiries should be addressed to Dr. Truccolo (wilson_truccolo@brown.edu). Applications including a CV, statement of research interests, and the names and full contact details of three referees should be sent to: wilson_truccolo@brown.edu.
