of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience in Moscow, Russia, invites
applications for postdoctoral research positions in computational and mathematical approaches to understanding neural
function and cognition at Theoretical Neuroscience Group (TNG).</p><p class="">Research
interests of the TNG at the Centre for Cognition and Decision Making
are wide ranging, carried out in collaboration with the experimental
labs at the Center. Current research topics include computational
psychiatry, computational neuroeconomics, information processing in
neurons and circuits, as well as role of oscillations in cognition. The
candidate will have the opportunity to further define and expand the
Group’s research programme.</p><p class="">We are seeking highly qualified and
motivated candidate with backgrounds in quantitative disciplines:
applied mathematics, physics, computer science or engineering. Knowledge
of biology, neuroscience and ability to work with data is highly
desired.</p><p class="">Candidates will be trained in model building, analysis
and will be offered advanced training in neuroscience and cognitive
psychology. Candidates will have an opportunity to develop independent
research projects and collaborations under the direction of the group
leading scientists.</p><p class="">The TNG is a structural part of the HSE’s <a href="https://www.hse.ru/en/cdm-centre/" class="">Centre for Cognition & Decision Making</a>
with ample collaboration opportunities within the Centre with other
research groups, both within Russia and internationally. This new
international group is tightly linked with <a href="http://iec-lnc.ens.fr/group-for-neural-theory/?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="">the Group for Neural Theory at the Ecole Normale Superior</a> in Paris, where research internships and visiting positions can be made available.</p><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><p class=""><strong class="">Application Process</strong></p><p class="">Applications must be submitted online.
