[Comp-neuro] Cognitive Rhythms Collaborative Post-Doc in Computational Neuroscience at Brown University

A postdoctoral position in computational neuroscience is available in to work jointly in the labs of Drs. Stephanie Jones and Christopher Moore in the Department of Neuroscience at Brown University, Providence, RI, on the origin and function of neural rhythms, as part of the Boston Area Cognitive Rhythms Collaborative (CRC; please see http://cbd.bu.edu/positions.htm). We seek to train a postdoctoral researcher in biophysically principled computational neuroscience methods. The trainee will work side by side with experimentalists to receive interdisciplinary systems level neuroscience training in the integration of theory and experimentation. Model development and analysis will be under the mentorship of Dr. Jones and integration with experimental data under the direction of Dr. Moore. Fundamental to the research will be the development of modeling tools to transcend our understanding of rhythms across electrophysiological scales – e.g. single units, LFP, EEG/MEG. The trainee will work amongst the broader community of researchers integrating theoretical and experimental techniques to study neural rhythms as part of the CRC. Qualified candidates should have a strong mathematics background with experience in dynamical systems methods for simulating neural circuits. The application deadline for the position is ongoing and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. Interested candidates should send a CV, statement of research interests, and three letters of recommendation sent to Stephanie_Jones@Brown.edu.
