Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience<br>
University of Pennsylvania<br>
<br>
<br>
The Computational Neuroscience Initiative (CNI, <a
href="http://cni.upenn.edu">http://cni.upenn.edu</a>) of the
University of Pennsylvania seeks exceptional candidates for two
CNI Postdoctoral Fellowships. Candidates with strong
quantitative skills from a variety of fields including
neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, physics,
mathematics, and engineering will be considered. The selected
Fellows will join an inter-disciplinary research environment in
historic Philadelphia. CNI Fellows will be encouraged to foster
collaborative research between multiple labs.<br>
<br>
The CNI supports inter-disciplinary and collaborative research
at the frontier of knowledge about the brain, behavior, and the
mind. We focus on systems-level approaches that integrate theory
and computation with experiment. Our members include faculty,
post-docs, and students from multiple programs and departments
including neurobiology, cognitive science, psychology, physics,
mathematics, electrical engineering, and computer science. Our
research and training spans the three major elements of the
field of Computational Neuroscience: 1) Theory – understanding
the brain as an information-processing machine; 2) Experiments –
providing quantitative methods to aid in the design,
implementation, analysis, and interpretation of empirical
studies that probe all levels of brain function, from molecules
to behavior; and 3) Applications – including robotics,
brain-machine interfaces, and new clinical tools. <br>
<br>
Applications should be submitted by email to <a class="mailto"
href="mailto:compneuro@sas.upenn.edu">compneuro@sas.upenn.edu</a> and
should consist of a CV and a cover letter stating the
candidate's research experience and reasons for applying to this
Fellowship. Please arrange for up two three letters of
recommendation to be sent to the same email address with the
candidate’s name in the subject line. Review of applications
will begin on February 30 and continue on a rolling basis until
the positions are filled.<br>

The University of Pennsylvania values diversity and seeks
talented individuals from diverse backgrounds (<a
