The Computational Neuroscience and Psychiatry Lab (www.pinotsislab.com) at University of London—City is looking for a Post Doc with a strong background in video games and/or numerical analysis of ODEs/PDEs and/or computational neuroscience. 

 

The Lab focuses on developing new algorithms for the analysis of human and animal brain imaging data. These are based on computational models of neural dynamics and state of the art machine learning techniques. Particular emphasis is put on applications in Computational Psychiatry and developing models of brain pathology. Also, the Lab develops brain theories that can explain brain pathology, using theoretical tools from deep neural networks and Bayesian brain theories.

 

The Post Doc shall conduct research in one or more of these areas. He/she will have the opportunity to shape the details of their project based on their specific interests.

 

The successful candidate should have a PhD in applied mathematics, computational neuroscience, engineering or physics. Expertise in one or more modern scientific computing programming language (Python, Matlab or R) is essential. The candidate should also have familiarity with one or both of: i) the analysis of human and/or animal brain imaging data, and ii) computational modelling using numerical simulations of ordinary and/or partial differential equations or video game algorithms.
