Postdoctoral Position in Systems and Computational Neuroscience
A postdoctoral position is
available in the area of systems and computational neuroscience. We are
interested in understanding the role of cellular and synaptic mechanisms
in shaping the activity patterns of ensembles of neurons and behavior.
Our recent work has focused on understanding the effects of STDP during
behavior. For example: Can the precise spike timing required for STDP
occur during behavior? What are the emergent properties of the resulting
STDP, as manifested in ensemble activity and behavior? We use a combination
of experimental and computational techniques to address these questions.
In particular, we record the activity of a large number (>100) of neurons
in freely behaving rodents using tetrodes, and develop analysis techniques
and computational models to understand the data. To learn more about research
in the lab and recent papers see:

Ideal candidate should know electrophysiology and computational modeling.
