<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A post-doc position in Computational Neuroscience is available at the University of Sussex for 20 months to be filled as soon as possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will be joining the Odor Objects project (<a href="http://www.odor-objects.org/">http://www.odor-objects.org/</a>), in which we are investigating how animals interpret the complex
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">odor plumes of chemicals in the air to identify sources of odors and distinguish them. Odor Objects is supported by the Human Frontiers Science Program (<a href="http://www.hfsp.org/">www.hfsp.org/</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and combines 4 international groups in Konstanz, Germany (physiology), Tempe, Arizona (behavior), Tokyo, Japan (robotics) and Brighton, UK (computational models).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are joining us at Sussex your work will involve computational modelling of brain networks and data analysis of related data from the experimental partners.
<br>
Models will then be used to design bio-mimetic controllers which will be tested by our partners in Japan.<br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for a talented post-doc with an interest in computational work. Applicants from all science disciplines are welcome but essential skills are the ability
<br>
to program, mathematical skills, e.g. to be able to apply dynamical systems analysis, and creative scientific thinking.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The bulk of the work will be carried out on the beautiful Falmer campus of the University of Sussex at the outskirts of the lively South Coast town of Brighton.
<br>
As part of the project you will travel to the project partners worldwide. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are many opportunities for further interactions at Sussex beyond the project, e.g. with the Brains on Board project (<a href="http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/P006094/1)">BrainsOnBoard</a>), and a wide variety
of Neuroscience <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">research in Sussex Neuroscience (<a href="http://www.sussex.ac.uk/sussexneuroscience/">www.sussex.ac.uk/sussexneuroscience/</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For more details and to apply, please go to <a href="http://www.sussex.ac.uk/aboutus/jobs/1626">

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is an <b>initial closing date of 1 February 2017</b> but we will continue searching until the position is filled.<o:p></o:p></p>
