Connectionists: International Brain Laboratory postdoctoral position at UCL

[Michael Hausser]

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join the
International Brain Laboratory in order to probe the links between activity
in neural circuits and behaviour.

The project will be co-supervised by Michael Hausser and Matteo Carandini,
and involves using ‘Neuropixels’ probes (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/neuropixels)
to make massively parallel recordings from large populations of neurons in
the brains of awake behaving mice.

The successful applicant will join a thriving international collaboration (
http://www.internationalbrainlab.com) which aims to understand the neural
circuit basis of decisionmaking in the mouse. Neuropixels recordings will
be integrated with other techniques such as two-photon microscopy,
two-photon optogenetics, and behavioral paradigms in virtual reality. The
post will be based at UCL, but opportunities exist for collaborations with
experimental and theoretical colleagues across the 21 labs in 6 countries
which comprise the International Brain Laboratory.

The successful candidate will be expected to take a leading role in all
aspects of the project, from designing and performing experiments,
developing technical advances, performing data analysis and presenting the
results.

The post is funded for 2 years in the first instance and is available
immediately.

You should apply for this post (Ref #: 1767183) through UCL's online
recruitment website, www.ucl.ac.uk/hr/jobs. Closing date for applications
is *Monday 3 December 2018.*

For informal inquiries please contact Michael Hausser (m.hausser at ucl.ac.uk)
or Matteo Carandini (m.carandini at ucl.ac.uk).
