Postdoctoral research position
We are seeking to hire a postdoctoral research fellow in theoretical neuroscience. The postdoctoral fellow will take part in the ERC funded KiloNeurons project, led by Edvard Moser (Kavli Institute for Theoretical Neuroscience, NTNU) and Yoram Burak (Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences, and the Racah Institute of Physics, Hebrew University).
The project offers opportunities to work on diverse theoretical and computational questions. These involve approaches ranging from pure theoretical modeling to analysis and interpretation of large scale neural data. Theoretical tools include methods from nonlinear dynamics, machine learning, statistical physics, and information theory.
A generous budget is available for travel between Israel and Norway to facilitate interaction with members of the Moser lab, as well as for travel and participation in scientific meetings, and for purchase of computing equipment.
We are looking for candidates with excellent abilities in theoretical research, strong intellectual curiosity and drive, a keen interest in computational neuroscience, and an interest in relating theory to experimental data.
Candidates must have an excellent research record in theoretical neuroscience, theoretical physics, mathematics, computer science, or a related field. Experience with research related to machine learning, statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, information theory, or large-scale data analysis, as well as prior familiarity with research in computational neuroscience are an advantage.
