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

[Antonio Roque]

Positions for Postdoctoral Researchers

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 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 that can
be consulted at our website. The project may be developed at the
laboratories of USP, campuses of São Paulo or Ribeirão Preto, or at
UNICAMP, Campinas, in person.

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 neurobiological
   data.
   3. Instrumentation development associated with brain stimuli.

Candidates to the first research line are required to have a strong
background in probability theory with 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 strong
background in electronic instrumentation, robotics, programing, and safety
in medical equipment.

The initial appointment is for one year, with a possible extension,
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
<https://neuromat.numec.prp.usp.br/postdoc/new/>. The following documents
and information are requested (please see the form for further details):

   fapesp.br/en/6351 <http://www.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 research
   lines the candidate has applied. It should also address how this research
   plan fits within the framework of the NeuroMat research program
   <https://neuromat.numec.prp.usp.br/scientific-project/>.
   - 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 the
deadline of February 02, 2024.

Appointment is expected to start by March 2024. The initial period of the
position lasts for 12 months, with possible renewals to up to the end of
the project, July 31, 2025. This opportunity is open to candidates of any
nationality.
The selected candidates will be awarded FAPESP Postdoctoral fellowships in
the amount of BRL 9,047.40 monthly and a research contingency fund,
equivalent to 15% 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
