Connectionists: postdoctoral position available in math neuro

[G. Bard Ermentrout]

Announcing a postdoc position at University of Pittsburgh

Postdoctoral position available immediately for computational neuroscience. 
Topics of interest include but are not restricted to modeling spontaneous 
activity, waves, and synchronous oscillations in neuronal models and phase 
reseting curves in noisy and complex milieus.

Applicants should have a good knowledge of basic concepts in nonlinear dynamics 
and a strong interest in applying this to neurobiological problems. Knowledge 
of neurosceince is useful but not necessary. The ability to write simulation 
code (either in MatLab, XPP, or C/C++) is also useful.

This position is NSF funded for two years, and a competitive salary is 
available for qualified candidates.

Pittsburgh is a medium-sized city with a relatively low cost of living and many 
of the amenities and cultural opportunities of a larger city.
The Neuroscience community in Pittsburgh is large and very diverse with more 
than 100 faculty members affiliated with the Center for Neuroscience at the 
University of Pittsburgh ( CNUP ). Successful candidates would also have the 
opportunity to join the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition ( CNBC ) which 
is a joint University of Pittsburgh/CMU center that involves 70 Faculty from 
the two Universities.

Interested candidates should send (preferably via e-mail) their c.v. and the 
names and addresses of three references to Professor Bard Ermentrout, 
Department of Mathematics, University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, PA 15260
