The Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience group at the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy, Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA  (https://drexel.edu/medicine/about/departments/neurobiology-anatomy/research/laboratory-for-theoretical-and-computational-neuroscience/), has an open Postdoctoral Fellow/Research Associate position in computational neuroscience to work on computational modeling of neural circuits in the brainstem and spinal cord involved in the neural and biomechanical control of mammalian locomotion. The modeling studies in the group are performed in close, interactive collaborations with several leading laboratories in the US, Canada and Europe performing the related experimental investigations, as well as with several investigators and groups focusing on control of legged robot locomotion. 

 

The successful applicant should have strong programming skills, some background in neuroscience and experience in modeling of biological neurons and neural networks. Some mathematical background is desirable. An experience in computational modeling of biomechanics is a plus. If you are interested, please email your CV, statement of research interest, and names of three references to Ilya Rybak (rybak@drexel.edu). The position will remain open until filled.
