computational neuroscience postdoc position

[Neymotin, Samuel (NKI)]

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 and ARO.

The NIH project aims to investigate the brain's dynamic circuit motifs underlying internal vs. external-oriented processes in the auditory system, using biophysical circuit modeling of the thalamocortical system. This research is in collaboration with Charlie Schroeder & Stephan Bickel.

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