Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Computational Neuroscience is available
The Theoretical Neuroscience Group (TNG) led by Viktor Jirsa seeks to fill a Research Fellow position in the field of Computational Neuroscience. The successful candidate will perform computational and mathematical studies of the effects of connectivity changes (structure) on the spatiotemporal neural network dynamics (function). Read more...
The newly formed Brain Network Recovery Group (Brain NRG) invites applications to become part of the international research team.
We anticipate hiring up to 7 postdoctoral research fellows, 5 research assistants and 2 programmers in the coming year.
Brain NRG represents the union of computational, cognitive and clinical neuroscience dedicated to the application of neural network theory to understanding the damaged brain. Successful candidates will become part of a consortium focused on the merger of computational, cognitive and clinical neuroscience to understand the reorganization of brain networks in response to damage or degeneration.A key element is the emphasis on active integration across domains, which provides a unique training opportunity for the successful candidate. The group includes researchers with strong expertise in:
* statistical analysis of neurophysiological data (KJ Friston, AR McIntosh, S Strother),
* nonlinear dynamical systems (V Jirsa, M Breakspear),
* computational modeling (G Tononi, O Sporns, R. Zemel),
* neuroanatomy and neuroinformatics (R Kötter),
* cognitive and clinical neuroscience (M Ghilardi, NJ Lobaugh, MP McAndrews. CJ Price, S Small, A Solodkin, N Schiff, DT Stuss).
Group member will benefit from the annual two-day meeting of the entire group, as well as more frequent meetings of smaller research groups. Group activities are funded by the James S McDonnell Foundation. Specific information on the project, positions and primary contacts can be accessed at http://www.brainnrg.org
