Postdoctoral Position in Computational Neuroscience

[Steven Bressler]

       COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE
                      Center for Complex Systems
                        Florida Atlantic University

A new postdoctoral position is open in the Center for Complex Systems
at Florida Atlantic University to participate in a project in 
computational neuroscience. The aim of the project is to develop 
multivariate techniques for the analysis of cortical event-related 
potentials, and use the results from such analysis as the basis for
computational modeling. The approach will emphasize the close interplay 
between state-of-the-art multivariate autoregressive analysis and the 
development of dynamical models of distributed information processing 
in the cerebral cortex. The research project will be conducted in close 
collaboration with S. Bressler, a cognitive neuroscientist and M. Ding,
a computational modeler. The position is for two years, possibly 
renewable for another year. The desired starting date is September 1, 1998.

Required background:

-- Ph.D. degree
-- Experience in C programming on UNIX systems and X11 Window 
   programming
-- Basic knowledge in dynamical systems, matrix algebra, signal 
   processing, and statistics
-- Research experience

Desired background:

-- Working knowledge in neurobiology and neural networks
-- Knowledge in autoregressive time series modeling

This project is funded by research grants from the National Science
Foundation and the National Institute of Mental Health. Please send
curriculum vitae, expression of interest, and the names and e-mail or 
phone numbers of three references to Steven Bressler at
