Multiple postdoctoral openings in modeling reinforcement learning in multi-scale brain networks at Washington University in St. Louis

Multiple postdoctoral openings are available for a new and large, multi-PI project to study the circuit underpinnings of reinforcement learning and decision-making. A key focus is on understanding multiple time-scales of information processing in neural circuits and involvement of neuron-astrocyte interactions. Experiment- and theory-forward positions are available. Applicants should have prior experience in neuroscience (computational or otherwise), modeling of large-scale systems, optimization, machine learning or related areas. Positions will be cross-appointed between Engineering and Neuroscience.

Washington University in St. Louis is an independent, Research 1 university in St. Louis, MO, USA, with nearly 60 of the university’s graduate and undergraduate programs ranked in the top 25 by US News & World Report. www.wustl.edu
