Call for a postdoctoral researcher

A postdoc position is available in image processing, machine learning, and neuroscience. 

The objective of the new multi-year project is to understand the neural basis of behavior changes in humans/animals. We shall tackle the AI-based image processing technology for capturing body movements and characterizing possible changes in behaviors. We may also develop methods of analyzing neuronal co-activation from large-scale Ca imaging data or capturing brain waves from multichannel ECoG data. We are looking for a young researcher interested in working on one or some of these topics.

The contract is yearly-basis and renewable until March 31, 2027.

Workplace: Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan

A successful applicant should have a Ph.D. in computational neuroscience, machine learning, physics, applied mathematics, or engineering, but not limited to these. The applicant should demonstrate research experiences with a strong publication record. Programming skills in Python or willingness to learn it, will be valued. 

To apply, please send a CV with a publication list, a statement of research interests (maximum two pages), and contact information of one or two reference(s) to ishii-sec@sys.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp. Either English or Japanese is accepted. The starting date is flexible, while earlier arrival is appreciated. The salary and title follow the university rule and depend on the record/expertise of an appointed researcher.

Please feel free to send me any informal questions regarding this post.
