Dear everyone, I am looking for a postdoc with
expertise in modelling/computational approaches. Please kindly
forward it to anyone interested.
Postdoctoral Scholar
in memory neuroscience using computational/modelling approach
A postdoctoral position is available in the
Laboratory of Attention and Memory (PI: Sze Chai Kwok) in the
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at East China Normal
University (ECNU) in Shanghai, China. Research will study the
theoretical and neurobiological basis of episodic memory. Focus
will be on the development of cognitive and biophysical network
models using cross-species data from both human fMRI (with TMS)
as well as ECoG, extra-cellular LFP / whole-cell
recordings (combined with ire/reversible intervention) in awake
monkeys performing analogous memory tasks using naturalistic
stimuli such as videos. Candidates are expected to take
advantage of the Lab’s unique experimental expertise in both
humans and macaques. The Lab has active collaboration with
groups in UCL, Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, UCLA, and
University of Oxford.
Appointment is contingent upon completion of a
PhD in computer science, mathematics, physics or other
quantitative disciplines. Relevant research experience in
modelling would be preferable. Salary is commensurate with
experience. This postdoc appointment will run for initially a
period of two years with a flexible starting date. Interested
candidates should initiate informal inquiries and/or send a CV,
a statement of research interests, representative first-author
publications (in one single PDF), and references to: [log in to unmask]. Applications
are accepted beginning now, and will continue until the position
is filled.
