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

[Antonio Roque]

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, strictly related to ongoing
research lines developed by  NeuroMat. For more details about the ongoing
research lines of NeuroMat, please visit 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. Candidates must have a
strong background in probability theory with emphasis on stochastic
processes.

2. Development of new statistical methods for neurobiological data. Candidates
must have a strong background in statistics and data analysis and knowledge
of computer programming.

3. Acquisition, processing, and quantitative analysis of neurobiological
data. Candidates must have a strong background in neuroscience with
previous experience in neurophysiological data acquisition, processing and
analysis, and knowledge of computer programming.

4. Instrumentation development associated with brain stimuli. Candidates
must have a strong background in electronic instrumentation, robotics,
programing, and safety in medical equipment.

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

length. This document must explicitly state for which of the four research
lines the candidate is applying. It should also address how this research
plan fits within the framework of the NeuroMat research program. It is
strongly recommended that candidates visit the webpage of the project, NeuroMat
research program
<https://neuromat.numec.prp.usp.br/scientific-project/>, consult
the list of publications and contact potential supervisors, who are
principal or co-principal investigators participating in the NeuroMat
project, to align the research proposal with the goals of the 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 emailed by the recommenders directly to
postdoc-appl at numec.prp.usp.br.

deadline of March 31, 2025.

Appointment is expected to start by May 2025. The initial period of the
position lasts for 12 months, with possible renewals to up to the end of
the project, July 31, 2026. This opportunity is open to candidates of any
nationality. The selected candidates will be awarded FAPESP Postdoctoral
fellowships in the amount of R$ 12,000,00 monthly plus fringe benefits 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.
