Connectionists: Postdoc position in Computational Neuroscience - CRM Barcelona

[Klaus Wimmer]

A fully funded POSTDOC POSITION in computational neuroscience is available
in the lab of Klaus Wimmer, Computational Neuroscience Group at the CRM,
Barcelona, Spain.

*Profile*
We are looking for an enthusiastic and scientifically curious researcher
with a strong interest in computational neuroscience. The perfect candidate
has a strong mathematical, physical or engineering background, scientific
programming skills (Matlab, Python), and a keen interest in biological
neural systems. Knowledge in computational neuroscience, dynamical systems,
machine learning or advanced statistics is a plus. Good team spirit is a
must.

*Research topic*
The neural basis of decision making and working memory has been studied
extensively, yet our understanding of how distributed circuits in the brain
perform these cognitive functions is only at the beginning. Models of
cortical circuits can shed light on the underlying neural network dynamics.
The Postdoc will work on building such models and on cutting-edge analysis
of large-scale neural activity recordings (neuronal population recordings,
fMRI, EEG).

*The lab*
The Computational Neuroscience Group is based at the Centre de Recerca
Matemàtica at the campus of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. It is a
joint effort of Alex Roxin and Klaus Wimmer, and forms part of a larger
network of theoretical and systems neuroscience labs in Barcelona. The
successful candidate will benefit from a vibrant and stimulating research
community and will have the opportunity of enjoying a lively city.

*How to apply*
Interested candidates should e-mail their application as a single pdf file
to Klaus Wimmer, kwimmer at crm.cat, with the subject “Postdoc 2018”. The
application should include: (1) CV with publication list, (2) a brief
description of research experience and interests, (3) contact information
for two references.
The position is available immediately and applications will be accepted
until it is filled. Informal inquiries are welcome.
