Applications are invited for post-doctoral research position in
the laboratory of Dr. Maxim Bazhenov (http://www.bazhlab.ucsd.edu/)
at the University of California, San Diego to study role of sleep
in memory and learning. The ultimate goal of the project is to
understand how the interaction among brain areas during sleep
leads to consolidation of memory for recent learning and how
sensory or electrical stimulation can enhance memory
consolidation. This project involves close collaboration with
several experimental laboratories.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the design of the
anatomically realistic brain network models based on experimental
data. These models will be applied to understand network dynamics
that are involved in the processes of memory consolidation, to
design optimal stimulation approaches, to guide data analysis and
to make predictions for future experimental studies. Qualified
applicants are expected to have experience in
computational/theoretical neuroscience and neural modeling.
Programming experience with C/C++ is required. Knowledge of PYTHON
and MATLAB is a significant plus.
The University of California offers excellent benefits. Salary is
based on research experience. Applicants should send a brief
statement of research interests, a CV and the names of three
references to Maxim Bazhenov at mbazhenov@ucsd.edu
