Connectionists: Postdoctoral position in Computational Neuroscience (cellular/molecular modeling) in Norway/San Diego

[Gaute Einevoll]

There is an opening for a 3-year postdoctoral position in computational neuroscience (cellular/molecular modeling) in Norway/San Diego.

The postdoc will work in a project funded by the Research Council of Norway - FriMedBio program. The research area is cellular and molecular modeling, and the goal is to identify and explore molecular signaling pathways and their neurophysiological role using data form brain imaging and whole genome studies. The work will involve various types of mechanistic and statistical modeling to investigate the polygenic contribution to development of human disorders, focusing on bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The positions are funded for three years, with up to two years outside Norway.

The fellow will together with two other already hired postdocs be key scientific personnel in the project. We can offer an exciting research environment with a multidisciplinary profile and large opportunities for academic development. The postdocs will work at the KG Jebsen Centre for Psychosis research (TOP Study Group), and in close collaboration with the Computational Neuroscience Group at the Norwegian University of Life Science at Ås (compneuro.umb.no) and the Multimodal Imaging Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) (mmil.ucsd.edu). 

Application deadline: June 15th, 2013
