Connectionists: Postdoctoral training in combining predictive computational modeling with human neuroimaging, focusing on brain connectivity and cognition

[Michael W. Cole]

*Postdoctoral training in combining predictive computational modeling with
human neuroimaging, focusing on brain connectivity and cognition*



We are looking for a highly motivated and talented scientist to join the
Cole Neurocognition Lab (http://www.colelab.org) as a postdoctoral
researcher.


We are developing and applying exciting new approaches to understanding
human brain organization and dynamics. These continuously evolving
approaches are then applied to understand the neural basis of cognition,
psychiatric diseases, and aging/development. Special emphasis is placed on
highly flexible cognition, such as cognitive control, learning,
reasoning/decision-making, and general intelligence. Computational
expertise, such as with machine learning, computational neuroscience,
control theory, and/or software engineering are especially desirable.
Possible training in neuroimaging analysis include fMRI, EEG/MEG, tCS, TMS,
and fusion approaches across modalities using computational models.
Additional training is possible in computational neuroscience with neural
mass models and deep learning models (artificial general intelligence and
data-driven discovery of neural information transformations).



The position will be at Rutgers University in Newark, NJ (13 miles from New
York City) and located in a recently renovated laboratory space in the
Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN), in the same
building as the Rutgers University Brain Imaging Center. The position
includes competitive salary and Rutgers University's excellent benefits
package. The Cole Neurocognition Lab is a fun, friendly, and hard-working
environment where one can interact with and learn from experts in cognitive
neuroscience, cognitive psychology, network science, and computational
neuroscience, in addition to other related fields. Interactions with
colleagues in other labs (and at nearby universities (NYU, NJIT, Penn,
Princeton, Temple, Columbia) take the form of collaborations, seminars,
social events, and regular meetings of the Integrative Neuroscience
Discussion Group and the Newark Brain Connectivity Group.

Start date is flexible, but is anticipated to be between January 2021 and
September 2021. Applicants will be reviewed on an on-going basis until the
position is filled.
