Connectionists: Research positions at The Neurosciences Institute, La Jolla

[W. Einar Gall]

The Neurosciences Institute is seeking researchers in computational
neuroscience to join ongoing projects using large-scale spiking models of
the mammalian nervous system in order to understand the biological bases
of brain function. Generally these models are also used to control
autonomous robotic devices that perform various behavioral tasks. These
Brain-Based Devices have been used to study the neural bases of
perception, operant and fear conditioning, episodic and spatial memory,
navigation, and motor control. Current work focuses on the mechanisms
underlying conscious behavior.

A suitable candidate should have neural modeling experience, strong
programming skills, and a broad background in neurobiology. Position title
and salary are dependent upon relevant experience; a full benefit package
is available.

Interested persons should send a curriculum vitae including the names of
three references to Dr. W. Einar Gall, Research Director, The
Neurosciences Institute, 800 Silverado Street, Suite 302, La Jolla, CA 
92037 or by email to theoryjobs at nsi.edu.

The Neurosciences Institute is an independent not-for-profit research
organization led by Nobel laureate Gerald M. Edelman. The Institute is
part of the larger, active neuroscience community in San Diego.
