Postdoctoral Fellowships with the Computational
Neuroscience Initiative at the University of
Pennsylvania
The Computational Neuroscience Initiative (CNI) of the University of
Pennsylvania seeks exceptional candidates for a CNI
Postdoctoral Fellowship. Candidates with strong quantitative skills
from a variety of fields including neuroscience, cognitive science,
psychology, physics, mathematics, and engineering will be
considered. The selected Fellow will join an inter-disciplinary
research environment in historic Philadelphia. CNI Fellows will be
encouraged to foster collaborative research between multiple labs.
The CNI supports interdisciplinary and collaborative research at the
frontier of knowledge about the brain, behavior, and the mind. We
focus on systems-level approaches that integrate theory and
computation with experiment. Our members include faculty, post-docs,
and students from multiple programs and departments at Penn. Our
research and training spans the three major elements of the field of
Computational Neuroscience: 1) Theory – understanding the brain as
an information-processing machine; 2) Experiments – providing
quantitative methods to aid in the design, implementation,
analysis, and interpretation of empirical studies that probe all
levels of brain function, from molecules to behavior; and
3) Applications – including robotics, brain-machine interfaces, and
new clinical tools. For more information about the CNI, please visit
our website at https://cni.upenn.edu.
Applications may be submitted by email to compneuro@sas.upenn.edu,
and should consist of a CV and a cover letter stating the
candidate's research experience and reasons for applying to this
Fellowship. Please arrange for up to three letters of recommendation
to be sent to the same email address with the candidate's name in
the subject line. Review of applications will begin on November 15
and continue on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.
The University of Pennsylvania values diversity and seeks talented
individuals from diverse backgrounds (http://jobs.hr.upenn.edu).
