three postdoctoral positions at Boston University

THREE POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS

DEPARTMENT OF COGNITIVE AND NEURAL SYSTEMS
BOSTON UNIVERSITY

Three postdoctoral fellows are sought to join the Boston University
Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems as part of a major new NSF
Science of Learning Center called CELEST (Center of Excellence for Learning
in Education, Science, and Technology; Stephen Grossberg, PI;
http://www.cns.bu.edu/CELEST). All three fellowships are available
immediately for a minimum commitment of two years. Each fellow should have
significant graduate training and published research in behavioral and brain
modeling using neural networks, or in neuromorphic modeling in technology.

One fellow will carry out basic research in developing biological neural
networks in one or more CELEST research areas, in addition to working with
CELEST colleagues to develop large-scale system models of brain and
behavior. 

The other two postdoctoral fellows would combine basic research in
behavioral and brain modeling and/or neuromorphic technology with
education projects aimed at bringing current modeling knowledge about
how the brain works into educational curricula at multiple levels. One
fellow will work primarily with web-based materials, the other with
printed materials. These postdocs would also interact with CELEST
members to develop these educational resources.

CELEST offers a wide range of excellent opportunities for broadening
knowledge of neural modeling and experimentation, technological
applications, and educational technology and outreach.
