The Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Complex Systems and the Department of Physics at Northeastern University, Boston, invite applicants for a postdoctoral position in Robust Intelligence / Theoretical
Neuroscience available immediately. The successful candidate will work on NSF and AIR FORCE sponsored projects aimed at creating a theoretical framework for the analysis of the effects of learning and robust memory storage on synaptic connectivity in local
cortical circuits.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in computational neuroscience, physics, mathematics, or related quantitative disciplines. Track record of experience in computational neuroscience, as well as excellent theoretical
and computational skills are required. Knowledge of statistical physics, machine learning, cortical neuroanatomy and connectivity is preferred.
To apply, please send (1) a CV, including a list of publications, (2) a summary of prior research accomplishments, and (3) names and contact information of three reference providers by email to Prof. Armen Stepanyants,
a.stepanyants@neu.edu.
The position is available immediately, and applications will be accepted until the position is filled. We offer competitive starting salary, $45-55K/year, and comprehensive benefits package. The initial appointment
