<p>*Postdoctoral Position in Mathematical Neuroscience: Basal
Ganglia Dynamics<br>
<br>
*Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the
Department of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh, funded
in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The successful
candidate will work with Professor Jonathan Rubin and other
collaborators on the mathematical and computational analysis of
issues relating to activity patterns in the basal ganglia,
particularly under parkinsonian conditions, will teach one course
per year, and will interact with other members of the Mathematical
Biology Group and the Center for Neuroscience at the University of
Pittsburgh. There will be opportunities to consider other areas
of mathematical neuroscience and to engage in some direct neural
data analysis as well. The position is funded for at least 2.5
years, with an initial one-year appointment and an expectation of
extension, given satisfactory performance. Applicants with a PhD
in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Neuroscience,
or a related discipline that includes training in dynamical
systems should send a CV including a list of publications, a
research statement, and reference contact information to <b

class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:jonrubin@pitt.edu">jonrubin@pitt.edu</a><span
class="moz-txt-tag"></span></b>. The start date is flexible
and applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the
position is filled. The University of Pittsburgh is an
Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer, and women and
members of minority groups under-represented in academia are
especially encouraged to apply. </p>
