Post-doctoral position in software engineering and computational neuroscience at Brown University
by Stephanie Jones 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

Post-doctoral position in software engineering and computational neuroscience at Brown University Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in software engineering and computational neuroscience in the lab of Dr. Stephanie Jones at Brown University. Our group combines human electrophysiological recording, computational neural modeling, and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to study the mechanisms and meaning of brain dynamics in health and disease. We developed a new neural modeling software tool designed for researchers and clinicians to develop and test predictions on the cell and circuit level origin of human electro- and magneto-encephalography (E/MEG) data. This open-source tool is called Human Neocortical Neurosolver (HNN) and is distributed at https://hnn/brown.edu (Neymotin et al eLife 2020). The hired candidate will help expand HNN’s capabilities, including software development using best-practices in open-source design and community support. The candidate will also work directly with researchers to apply HNN to specific neuroscience questions. Duties will include development of tutorials, online resources, and participation in workshops aimed at training the community in the use and applicability of HNN. The candidate will work with a diverse team of researchers at Brown, Mass General Hospital, and Yale University involved in HNN development. Candidates should have a PhD in computer science, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and/or related field. Strong Python programming skills are required, and experience with neural modeling, particularly NEURON, is preferred. Software developers without a PhD may also be considered. Familiarity with E/MEG analysis methods and/or non-invasive brain stimulation is also beneficial. Candidates should be able to work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and fun work environment. Interested candidates should send a cv and a brief description of qualifications and research interests to the Jones lab manager Dylan_S_Daniels(a)alumni.brown.edu. ******************************************* Stephanie R.

Gross annual salary is 30k€, which allows for a wealthy life in Sevilla. Requirements: - Official PhD graduation date must be after May 27th 2015, although earlier dates are possible in case of leaves due to pregnancies, child birth, adoption, major accident or disease. - One special requirement is that candidates must present an official certificate from the Public Employment Service of their country showing they are either unemployed or demanding a better position. - Deadline for candidacy submission is June 17th, although prospective candidates should contact us at bernabe(a)imse-cnm.csic much earlier to prepare the proposal. The IMSE Neuromorphic Group develops research in Silicon chips and FPGAs for neuromorphic hardware with stronger focus on vision applications. We have developed several DVS (Dynamic Vision Sensor) cameras as well as cortical processing systems and spiking based learning techniques. In the last years we have strongly engaged into exploiting memristors for neuromorphic hardware and have designed full monolithic CMOS-memristive neuromorphic systems. We welcome both, candidates with more hardware profile (either analog or digital) as well as with more computing profile. The successful candidate can participate in any of the active research projects in the group, can also develop alternative research lines within the neuromorphic field, participate in grant proposals, and advice PhD and MSc students.
