The Neural Dynamics and Neural Engineering Lab at Virginia Tech has an opening for a post-doctoral position in
computational neuroscience. This position is for three years and is being funded by the Army Research Office
(ARO). The research project will involve employing biophysically based computational models to examine the role
of rhythmic activity in the expression of emotional memories during behavior and their consolidation during sleep.
An additional aim is to employ the models developed to gain insights into the pathophysiology of post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD).
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, computational
neuroscience, or a related field. Strong programming skills and/or prior experience in modeling would be an asset.
Interested candidates should send a CV, a statement of research interests, and the contact information for three
references to svijayan9@gmail.com. Arrangements can be made to meet with candidates at the Sleep conference in
Boston (June 3-7) or at the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) conference in Pittsburgh (July
10-14).
