Connectionists: IBL postdoc in London

[Michael Hausser]

The International Brain Laboratory (www.internationalbrainlab.com) is
looking for an exceptional postdoctoral fellow, to start as soon as
possible. The position will be based at University College London (London,
UK) and will be co-supervised by Michael Hausser and Matteo Carandini.

The position has a competitive salary and benefits, and is funded for three
years in the first instance.

The International Brain Laboratory is a unique and ambitious multi-lab
collaborative effort, funded by the Simons Foundation and the Wellcome
Trust, whose goal is to understand the neural mechanisms of decision-making
through a combination of large-scale, cross-lab experimental efforts
alongside tight integration of theoretical and experimental approaches. Now
in its second year, the IBL has already achieved standardization and
replication of the mouse behavioral paradigm across labs, and the effort to
map the entire mouse brain at single neuron resolution is now underway.
Postdocs in the IBL contribute to collecting datasets and building
collaborative infrastructure in addition to developing and leading their
own personal projects, which are accelerated and enhanced by taking
advantage of the IBL experimental and computational tools and by mentoring
from the other members of the collaboration. It is expected therefore that
IBL postdocs will publish multiple impactful first-author papers in
addition to being part of consortium-wide papers. For more information
about the advantages of postdoctoral research at IBL, see
www.internationalbrainlab.com/postdocs/.

The ideal candidate for this position has experience in rodent physiology
experiments and in data analysis (ideally using Python). They will have an
exceptional record of rigorous and creative scientific work, and be excited
about the possibility of joining a large, innovative collaboration at the
forefront of modern neuroscience.

The IBL is a diverse, open, and inclusive collaboration and we strongly
encourage applicants from under-represented groups to apply for this
position.

Apply for this post (Ref #: 1835986) through UCL's online recruitment
website, www.ucl.ac.uk/hr/jobs. Closing date for applications is 23
November 2019.
