Connectionists: Postdoctoral fellowships at the Neuromathematics Center in Sao Paulo State, Brazil

[Antonio Roque]

*Postdoctoral Fellowships inAcquisition, processing and quantitative
analysis of neurobiological data*

The Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics
(NeuroMat), hosted by the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, and funded
by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), is offering two
post-doctoral fellowships for recent PhDs with outstanding
research potential. The fellowship will involve collaborations with
research teams and laboratories associated with NeuroMat.

The research to be developed by the post-doc fellow shall be strictly
related to ongoing research lines developed by the NeuroMat team. The
project may be developed at USP (São Paulo or Ribeirão Preto) or at UNICAMP
(Campinas).

We seek candidates capable of developing independent research in one of the
research lines below:
1. Stochastic modeling of neurobiological data.
2. Acquisition, processing and quantitative analysis of
electrophysiological data.
3. Development of neurostimulation protocols.
Candidates to the first research line are required to have a strong
background in probability theory with an emphasis on stochastic processes.
Candidates to the second research line are required to have a strong
background in
neuroscience with previous experience in neurophysiological data
acquisition, processing and analysis, and knowledge of computer programming.
Candidates to the third research line are required to have a solid
background in biomedical instrumentation or medical physics with previous
experience in transcranial magnetic stimulation, neuronavigation and
knowledge of robotics and computer programming.

The initial appointment is for one year, with a possible extension to up to
one year, conditional on research progress. The fellowship is competitive
at an international level, and fellows benefit from extra funds for travel
and research expenses plus limited support for relocation expenses.

Application Instructions:
Applicants should complete and submit the application form. The following
documents and information are requested (please see the form for further
details):
- Summary of the CV, in the format required by FAPESP (see fapesp.br/en/6351
for
instructions);
- List of publications, with links to those available online.
- A summary of the research plan for the next year, up to 5 pages in
length. This document must explicitly state for which of the three
aforementioned profiles the candidate has applied. It should also address
how this research plan fits within the framework of the NeuroMat research
program.
- Pointers to other research related output, such as software, web pages,
and so forth.
Candidates should be willing to send copies of publications, if requested;
- Any further information deemed relevant to the application.

In addition to the above, we require at least two recommendation letters.
Those should be mailed by the recommenders directly to
postdoc-appl at numec.prp.usp.br.

Timetable:
Candidates are encouraged to apply at their earliest convenience until
October 31, 2022. Appointment is expected to start by December 1st, 2022.
The initial period of the position lasts for 12 months, with possible
renewals for up to one year. This opportunity is open to candidates of any
nationality.
The selected candidates will be awarded FAPESP Postdoctoral fellowships in
the amount of R$8.479,20 monthly and a research contingency fund,
equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship, which should be
spent on items directly related to the research activity. More details on
FAPESP's postdoctoral fellowships are available at: fapesp.br/en/5427.
