Connectionists: Postdoctoral fellowship in the neuroscience of decision-making

[Paul Cisek]

Postdoctoral fellow in the neuroscience of decision-making

Department of neuroscience, laboratory of Paul Cisek

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship in cognitive
neuroscience, in the laboratory of Paul Cisek at the University of Montréal.
Our research group studies the neural mechanisms of decision-making in
humans and non-human primates using computational models of the nervous
system as well as behavioral experiments, transcranial magnetic stimulation,
and multi-electrode recording, and we have several ongoing collaborations
involving fMRI, MEG and intracranial EEG. See www.cisek.org/pavel
<http://www.cisek.org/pavel>  for information on current projects and a list
of sample publications.

 

The successful applicant will lead a research project investigating
real-time dynamic decision-making through simultaneous multi-electrode
recordings in the basal ganglia and the prefrontal, premotor and motor
cortex of non-human primates. A Ph.D. in neuroscience or related field is
required, and prior experience in neurophysiology and/or computational
modeling of neural systems is highly desirable. Depending on the applicant's
qualifications and interests, they will help to design and conduct
behavioral and neurophysiological experiments, analyze data, develop
theoretical models of neural mechanisms, prepare manuscripts for
publication, and participate in international conferences. 

 

For further information, please contact Dr. Paul Cisek
(paul.cisek at umontreal.ca <mailto:paul.cisek at umontreal.ca> ). Applicants are
asked to send a cover letter, curriculum vita, copies of academic
transcripts, an optional statement of research interests, and the names and
contact information of 2 or 3 references, to:
