Connectionists: Postdoc position available

[Olaf Sporns]

*Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab - Indiana University*

*Postdoctoral Fellowship*

Applications are invited for an open position as postdoctoral fellow in 
the Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab, Department of 
Psychological and Brain Sciences, Indiana University Bloomington.

The core research focus of the lab is in the area of brain networks and 
connectomics. The lab works on anatomical and functional data sets from 
a number of species, with a strong emphasis on human brain connectivity 
and connectome data. Ongoing projects in the lab involve applications of 
models and tools from network science, graph theory, complex dynamics 
and information theory to basic and clinical/translational 
neurobiological questions. A description of the lab and current research 
areas can be found at www.indiana.edu/~cortex 
<http://www.indiana.edu/%7Ecortex> .

Applicants should (a) have (or be in the final stages of obtaining) a 
PhD or equivalent degree in a field relevant to the research focus of 
the lab (e.g. neuroscience, neuroimaging, applied mathematics, computer 
science or bioengineering); (b) have a strong background in 
computational methods and programming (including advanced skills in 
Matlab); and (c) have strong enthusiasm for using computational 
approaches to understand neurobiological problems. Candidates with 
background in networks or graph theory, experience in processing and 
analyzing neuroimaging or electrophysiological recordings, exposure to 
"big data" approaches relevant to brain function, and a strong record of 
publication are especially encouraged to apply.

The postdoctoral fellow will join a very active and interdisciplinary 
research group, and will be expected to engage and interact with a 
growing number of network and complex systems scientists at Indiana 
University and beyond. The lab maintains close ties and collaborations 
with scientists in the IU Imaging Research Facility (housing a 3T 
Siemens MR scanner), the Center for Complex Networks and Systems at the 
School of Informatics and Computing, the Medical School campus, and at 
other institutions nationally and internationally. All lab members have 
access to excellent computational facilities.

The potential start date is negotiable, and the position is initially 
offered for a 1-year term which is renewable upon mutual 
agreement.Salary levels will follow NIH guidelines.

Please email application materials (cover letter, a full CV with a list 
of publications, and 3 letters of reference) to Olaf Sporns at 
osporns at indiana.edu <mailto:osporns at indiana.edu> .
