NetPyNE-related postdoc position at NKI for Psychiatric Research, NY

[Salvador Dura]

A computational neuroscience postdoc position is available at the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research (https://www.nki.rfmh.org) to work on recently awarded grants from NIH (MPI: Schroeder, Bickel, Neymotin) and ARO (PI: Neymotin).

The NIH project aims to investigate the brain's dynamic circuit motifs underlying internal vs. external-oriented processes in the auditory system, using a combination of electrophysiology and biophysical circuit modeling of the thalamocortical system.

The ARO project involves developing circuit models of the hippocampus interfaced with virtual agents, and training the agents/models to perform spatial navigation tasks using biologically-inspired learning rules.

Applicants should have a strong background in: multiscale modeling using NEURON/NetPyNE, Python software development, neural data analysis, machine learning, and writing/presenting research.

To find out more, email Sam Neymotin (samuel....@nki.rfmh.org). To apply, send a CV and cover letter. NKI is an equal opportunity employer.
