[Comp-neuro] Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Neuroscience

The School of Engineering and Science at Jacobs University Bremen has an opening for a full time position as

 

Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Neuroscience (f/m)

 

This is an exciting opportunity to join a multidisciplinary team addressing fundamental questions in Neuroscience. The research aims at designing a cortical circuit model for working-memory and decision-making based on existing experimental data. The methods will focus on mathematical and numerical analysis of neural circuit models, and data analysis of physiological recordings. The model will produce novel experimental predictions, guide further analysis, and ultimately provide a better understanding of the neural mechanisms of memory and decision-making.

The ideal candidate has a background in Computational Neuroscience, Applied Mathematics or Physics and is highly motivated to have an interdisciplinary experience between Neuroscience and Applied Math.

 

Jacobs University offers competitive salaries based on qualification and experience. The initial contract will be for two years. The prospective starting date is September 1^st, 2013, but earlier dates may also be considered.

 

Applicants should send a brief statement of research interests, a CV and the names of three references.
