Connectionists: Postdoctoral position in cerebellar network modeling in Okinawa

[Erik De Schutter]

A postdoctoral researcher position to model cerebellar function is available in the Computational Neuroscience Unit (https://groups.oist.jp/cnu) of Prof. Erik De Schutter at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University.

Depending on previous experience research emphasis can be on analyzing population activity in network models of the olivocerebellum or on further development of XML-based methods for network model description and simulation, or a combination of both. Candidates should have experience in network modeling, preferentially using the parallel NEURON environment. Prior knowledge of cerebellar anatomy and physiology is a plus but not required. The postdoc will interact with other researchers and students in the lab who are working on cerebellar modeling projects. 

We offer attractive financial and working conditions in an English language graduate university that emphasizes interdisciplinary research, located on a beautiful subtropical island. Send curriculum vitae, Candidates should mail a summary of research interests and experience, and the names of three referees to Prof. Erik De Schutter at erik at oist.jp
