Hi,
Four new postdoc-level positions in computational neuroscience are open at
the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle. Please see description
and instructions for application below.
The Allen Institute for Brain Science is embarking on a multiyear project to
study neural computation and coding in the mouse cortex. An integral part
of this effort is the Modeling, Analysis, and Theory Group at the Institute,
which presently has four openings for scientist positions focusing in the
following areas of computational neuroscience:
- Biophysical modeling of information processing in the cortex,
- Detailed single-neuron and network modeling of the mouse visual cortex V1,
- Modeling of short term synaptic plasticity at the cell type and network
level,
- Developing visualization and analysis systems for large-scale imaging data.
The first two scientists will employ realistic neuronal cell morphology,
biophysical mechanisms, and connectivity to construct computer simulations
ranging from single neurons to many thousands of cells in the mouse visual
cortex, aiming to computationally recreate intracellular, transmembrane, and
extracellular activity. The third position will primarily focus on
constructing mathematical tools to parameterize synaptic plasticity models
between specified cell types in the thalamo-cortical circuits and extend
existing models if they fail to accurately describe the observed data. The
fourth scientist will work toward developing semi- and fully-automated image
reconstruction of neuron morphology of light and electron microscopy,
providing crucial tools for the analysis of the massive amount of imaging
data generated at the Allen Institute. An overarching theme for all four
positions will be close interaction with experimental teams at the Allen
Institute in designing optimal protocols, analyzing their outcome, and
deciphering functional implications of the mechanisms studied.
These positions are offered at the level of “Scientist I” and are
typically filled by applicants within a few years of finishing their PhD
thesis work. We strongly encourage qualified individuals with PhD in
relevant disciplines to apply. To learn more about individual positions and
