Connectionists: Postdoctoral Fellows in Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience at UChicago

[Ramon Nogueira]

The Grossman Center for Quantitative Biology and Human Behavior
<https://neuroscience.uchicago.edu/GrossmanCenter> at the University of
Chicago seeks outstanding applicants for multiple postdoctoral positions in
computational and theoretical neuroscience. We especially welcome
applicants who develop mathematical approaches, computational models, and
machine learning methods to study the brain at the circuits, systems, or
cognitive levels. The current faculty members of the Grossman Center to
work with are: (informal enquiries are welcome)

   - Brent Doiron’s lab investigates how the cellular and synaptic
   circuitry of neuronal circuits supports the complex dynamics and
   computations that are routinely observed in the brain. (
   bdoiron at uchicago.edu).


   - Jorge Jaramillo’s lab investigates how subcortical structures interact
   with cortical circuits to subserve cognitive processes such as memory,
   attention, and decision making. (jorgejaramillo at uchicago.edu).


   - Ramon Nogueira’s lab investigates the geometry of representations as
   the computational support of cognitive processes like abstraction in noisy
   artificial and biological neural networks. (rnogueira at uchicago.edu).


   - Marcella Noorman’s lab investigates how properties of synapses,
   neurons, and circuits shape the neural dynamics that enable flexible and
   efficient computation. (noormanm at uchicago.edu).


   - Samuel Muscinelli’s lab studies how the anatomy of brain circuits both
   governs learning and adapts to it. We combine analytical theory, machine
   learning, and data analysis, in close collaboration with experimentalists. (

Appointees will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and multiple
opportunities for collaboration with exceptional experimental labs within
the Neuroscience Institute, as well as other labs from the departments of
Physics, Computer Sciences, and Statistics.

The Grossman Center offers competitive postdoctoral salaries in the vibrant
and international city of Chicago, and a rich intellectual environment that
includes the Argonne National Laboratory <https://www.anl.gov/> and
UChicago’s Data Science Institute <https://datascience.uchicago.edu/>. The
Neuroscience Institute is currently engaged in a major expansion that
includes the incorporation of several new faculty members in the next few
years.
APPLICATIONS:
