Multiple postdoctoral positions are available in Sukbin Lim's lab at NYU-Shanghai as part of NYU’s global network and the NYU-ECNU Institute of Brain and Cognitive Science (https://shanghai.nyu.edu/research/brain). The overarching goal of our lab is to understand network interactions and dynamics in neuronal systems. In particular, our work is focused on investigating network mechanisms and synaptic plasticity for higher cognitive functions such as learning and memory.  More information on the research can be found at http://shanghai.nyu.edu/research/brain/faculty/Sukbin-Lim.

Environment:

Institute of Brain and Cognitive Science at NYU-Shanghai is a multidisciplinary and collaborative research environment.  Candidates will be encouraged to collaborate with experimental and computational groups at NYU and NYU-Shanghai, and will have the opportunities to spend time at NYU in New York in case of a collaboration between Shanghai and New York.  The initial appointment is for 1 year, renewable up to 3 years subject to progress and globally competitive compensations will be provided.

To Apply:

Qualified applicants are expected to hold a PhD by the start date of the position in computational and theoretical neuroscience, or related discipline with a strong quantitative training in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Sciences and Engineering. Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB or C/C++) and experience in modeling networks/complex systems will be highly valued. Knowledge of Neuroscience would be a plus.

Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.  To be considered, please send a curriculum vitae, short research statement and the names and contact information of two references to sukbin.lim@nyu.edu.
