Postdoc position available (up to 3 years) at Monash Neuroscience of Consciousness (MoNoC), Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.

We are seeking outstanding postdoctoral research fellows with strong skills in computational or mathematical neuroscience, whose research ambition is to identify the physical substrate of conscious experience.

If you are successful, you will work in Tsuchiya's lab at Monash, on our two Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project grants (2018-2020). Both projects will involve the analysis of intracranial neural recordings from multiple brain areas, which are simultaneously recorded, and conscious experience is also characterised.  

In one of the projects, you will develop mathematical tools and apply the tools to empirically test predictions from "integrated information theory of consciousness" (Tononi 2004 BMC, 2016 NRN). For the overall idea of the project, please see Haun et al 2017 eNeuro, Oizumi et al 2016 PLoS Comp & PNAS).

You will work both independently and collaboratively with multiple PIs.  Starting date is relatively flexible. Late-stage PhD students will be considered (only those with substantial publication records). 

If you are interested, please send your CV to 
Nao Tsuchiya <naotsugu.tsuchiya@monash.edu>.  Strong candidates will be contacted through emails and interviews. 
 
Applications will be open until the ideal candidate is identified. 

Thank you 
 
Nao
