Connectionists: Open postdoctoral position in computational neuroscience/neuroinformatics in Stockholm

[Anders Lansner]

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in computational
neuroscience / neuroinformatics at the KTH Computational Biology department
for collaborative research within Stockholm Brain Institute (SBI). SBI is a
newly formed brain research consortium in Stockholm, which is joint between
Karolinska institutet, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), and Stockholm
University and has a focus on cognitive and computational neuroscience. The
CBN research group is specialized in large-scale modelling and simulation of
the neuronal networks of the brain as well as brain-inspired computational
architectures and algorithms. The group is part of SBI and manages its
computational and modelling platform. An important aspect of the work is
software development for and use of large-scale neuronal network
simulations, including simulators and tools for model specification and
visualization. A focus is on parallel computing in a Linux environment with
a 1K processor IBM Blue Gene/L cluster computer as a dedicated resource.

The ideal candidate has a PhD in computer science - mathematics - physics
with a profile towards algorithms, computational science, and/or biophysics
as applied to computational neuroscience and neuroinformatics. A strong
interest in brain research as well as good collaborative and communicative
skills are necessary. Documented experience from a cross-disciplinary
environment towards experimental brain research is a merit.
