The Gold lab (http://www.med.upenn.edu/goldlab) at the University of Pennsylvania is looking for an energetic and talented post-doc to participate in a funded BRAIN Initiative grant studying neural mechanisms of individual differences in learning and decision-making (http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=135926). The work will combine psychophysics, single-unit electrophysiology, and computational modeling. A strong background in systems neuroscience is preferred.

Anyone interested should contact Joshua Gold directly via e-mail (jigold@mail.med.upenn.edu). Please include a CV and cover letter stating your research experience and reasons for applying to this position. Also please be prepared to provide contact information for up to three references upon request.

Penn has a rich and interactive environment for both systems and computational neuroscience, with journal clubs, lab meetings, retreats, and other joint activities, many of which are organized by our new Computational Neuroscience Initiative (CNI: http://cni.upenn.edu). We also value diversity and seek talented individuals from diverse backgrounds (http://jobs.hr.upenn.edu).
