COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE POST-DOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE

A post-doctoral position is available immediately for computational
modeling of dendritic morphology, neuronal connectivity, and
electrophysiology. All highly motivated candidates with a recent PhD
in biology, computer science, physics, or other areas related to
Neuroscience (including MD or engineering degree) are encouraged to
apply. C programming skills and/or experience with NEURON, GENESIS or
other modeling packages are desirable but not necessary.

Post-doc will join a young and dynamic research group at the Krasnow
Institute for Advanced Study, located in Fairfax, VA (20 miles west of
Washington DC). The initial research project is focused on
anatomically and biophysically detailed electrophysiological
simulations of hippocampal neurons to study synaptic integration and
the structure/activity/function relationship at the cellular and
network level.

The post-doc will be hired as a Research Assistant Professor (with VA
state employee benefits) with a salary based on the NIH postdoctoral
scale, and will have generous office space, a new computer, and
full-time access to Silicon Graphics and Linux servers and consoles.

Send CV, (p)reprints, a brief description of your motivation, and
names, email addresses and phone/fax numbers of references to:
ascoli at gmu.edu (or by fax at the number below) ASAP. There is no
deadline but the position will be filled as soon as a suitable
candidate is found. Non-resident aliens are welcome to apply. The
Krasnow Institute is an equal opportunity employer.
