<p class="MsoNormal">Applications are invited for post-doctoral
positions in the laboratory of Dr. Maxim Bazhenov at the
University of California, Riverside to study role of sleep rhythms
in memory and learning. This project involves close collaboration
with laboratories of Eric Halgren (UCSD), Terry Sejnowski (Salk),
Sydney Cash (Harvard), Jean-Marc Fellous (Univ of Arizona). <span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"></span>The ultimate goal of this work
is to understand how the interaction among brain areas during
different stages of sleep leads to consolidation of memory for
recent learning. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The successful candidate will be responsible
for the design of the anatomically realistic
thalamo-cortico-hippocampal models based on existing experimental
data. These models will be used to understand network dynamics of
brain that are involved in the processes of memory consolidation,
as well as guide data analysis and produce novel experimental
predictions. Qualified applicants are expected to have experience
in computational/theoretical neuroscience and conductance-based
neural modeling. Programming experience with C/C++ is required.
Knowledge of PYTHON or MATLAB is a plus.<o:p></o:p></p>
<o:p></o:p> The University of California offers excellent benefits.
Salary is based on research experience. Applicants should send a
brief statement of research interests, a CV and the names of three
