Multiple Postdoctoral Positions in Computational Neuroscience Available at
Boston
University, and beyond.
Three, NIH-supported postdoctoral positions in computational neuroscience are
available
immediately at Boston University in the labs of Uri Eden and Mark Kramer. The
positions
center on two projects:
Project: Measure, model, and modulate cross-frequency coupling.
Team: An interdisciplinary team of researchers at BU (Mark Kramer and Uri Eden)
and the
University of Minnesota (Alik Widge).
Goals: (i) Develop new statistical modeling methods to assess cross-frequency
coupling
(CFC) in real-time, and deploy these tools in in vivo animal experiments. (ii)
Develop simple,
biophysical models to identify candidate mechanisms of CFC.
Project: Assess human seizure dynamics across spatial and temporal scales.
Team: An interdisciplinary team of researchers at BU (Mark Kramer and Uri Eden)
Harvard/MGH (Sydney Cash), and Columbia University (Catherine Schevon).
Goals: (i) Analyze human seizure activity in a unique data set, consisting of
invasive brain
voltage recordings across spatial scales - from single units to large brain
areas, and temporal
scales - from high-frequency oscillations to slow brain rhythms. (ii) Build
biophysical models to
probe how human seizures start, propagate, and stop.
For either project, the successful candidate will have a strong background in
statistics
and computer programming; experience in interdisciplinary neuroscience research
and
biophysical modeling is preferred, although not essential.
The positions are based at Boston University in the labs of Uri Eden and Mark
Kramer. Both
projects are highly interdisciplinary and will involve frequent and extensive
interactions with
neuroscientists at UMN (Alik Widge), or clinicians at Harvard/MGH (Sydney Cash)
and
Columbia University (Catherine Schevon).
To apply, or for more information about the position, please send an email to
Mark Kramer
(m...@math.bu.edu). Please include an updated CV, names and contact information
of three
references, and a brief statement of your interest in the position and relevant
qualifications.
Boston University offers a vibrant community of statistical, mathematical, and
neuroscience
faculty and students, and many opportunities for collaboration within and
outside the
University.
