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). 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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
The University of California offers excellent benefits. Salary is
based on research experience. The initial appointment is for 1 year
with a possibility of extension. Applicants should send a brief
statement of research interests, a CV and the names of three
references to Maxim Bazhenov at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:maksim.bazhenov@ucr.edu">maksim.bazhenov@ucr.edu</a><br>
