Connectionists: Neuropixels postdoctoral position at UCL

[Hausser, Michael]

A postdoctoral position is available in the Neural Computation lab at UCL (http://www.dendrites.org/)

The project will involve making recordings using revolutionary new high-density silicon probes, known as "Neuropixels" (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/neuropixels) to investigate computation in neural circuits during behaviour.

These recordings will be integrated with other techniques being used in the lab such as two-photon microscopy, two-photon optogenetics, and behavioral paradigms in virtual reality. Opportunities exist for collaborations with colleagues in computational neuroscience, engineering, computer science and other fields. UCL is based in central London, with the highest concentration of neuroscience research in the world.

The ideal candidate will have a background in systems, computational or cellular neuroscience. Experience with in vivo electrophysiology and/or two-photon microscopy would be an asset, as would strong programming ability in MATLAB or Python.

The post is funded for 1 year in the first instance and the start date is flexible.

You should apply for this post (Ref #: 1623610) through UCL's online recruitment website, www.ucl.ac.uk/hr/jobs<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/hr/jobs>. Closing date for applications is 20 February 2017.

For informal inquiries please contact Dr. Michael Hausser (m.hausser at ucl.ac.uk<mailto:m.hausser at ucl.ac.uk>).
