Connectionists: 4 post-doc positions in neuroscience or optical physics @ University of Queensland

[Gilles Vanwalleghem]

 The Collaborative Program in Sensory Networks seeks four (4) Postdoctoral
Research Fellow/ Research Fellows for projects spanning optical physics and
neuroscience. Our program, spanning the labs of Professor Danielle Bassett
(Dept. of Bioengineering, University of Pennsylvania), Professor Halina
Rubinsztein-Dunlop (School of Maths and Physics, University of Queensland),
and A. Prof. Ethan Scott (Queensland Brain Institute, University of
Queensland), seeks to understand the local circuits and brain-wide networks
that mediate sensory processing and integration in the zebrafish model
system. This involves the design and construction of custom light-sheet
microscopes, whole-brain calcium imaging at cellular resolution, and light
sculpting for targeted optogenetic manipulations in vivo. For more
information, please visit our group website

*Our Ideal Candidate*

A PhD in engineering, physics, neuroscience, mathematics, or relevant
related fields in addition to expertise and a strong track record in
optical physics/engineering, neuroscience, calcium imaging, image analysis,
or the mathematical modelling of complex systems, is essential to the role.

A strong desire to develop new ideas and research directions, aimed towards
making high-impact findings and developing a research career will see you
excel in this role.

Our ideal candidate will also possess excellent verbal and written
communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and
collaboratively. Experience with coding in Matlab, Python, or other related
languages would be desirable.

We value diversity and inclusion, and actively encourage applications from
those who bring diversity to the University. Our Diversity and Inclusion
