<div class="">A postdoctoral position is available in the Neural Computation lab at UCL (<a href="http://www.dendrites.org/" class="">http://www.dendrites.org/</a>)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The project will involve making recordings using revolutionary new high-density silicon probes, known as "<b class="">Neuropixels</b>" (<a href="http://www.ucl.ac.uk/neuropixels" class="">http://www.ucl.ac.uk/neuropixels</a>) to investigate computation
in neural circuits during behaviour.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The post is funded for 1 year in the first instance and the start date is flexible. </div>
