Connectionists: Postdoc position, temporal coordination in the basal ganglia and cortex

[Mehrdad Jazayeri]

May 1, 2015

Postdoctoral position
The neural basis of interval timing and temporal coordination in the basal ganglia and cortex
Jazayeri lab
MIT

The project combines computational modeling with in-vivo electrophysiology and optogenetics to understand the neural basis of interval timing and temporal coordination in neural circuits connecting higher cortical areas to the basal ganglia. The ideal candidate will have experience in awake, behaving non-human primate electrophysiology with a strong interest in computational models of behavior. Candidates with no prior experience with in-vivo electrophysiology will not be considered.

Applicants should submit a CV, a 1-page description of their relevant background and expertise, a 1-page research statement of interest with respect to the project, and names and email addresses of three referees.  To apply or ask questions, please contact Mehrdad Jazayeri at MIT (mjaz at mit.edu).
