As part of a collaboration with the AFRL, the laboratory of Dr Santamaria at UTSA is looking for a talented postdoc to computationally study how fast thermal gradients impact synaptic mechanisms in dendritic spines. This will be part of
a collaborative project between UTSA, AFRL, and other universities where experiments and simulations will combine to understand fundamental plasticity processes in neuronal synapses. The results will have important practical implications in neuroscience and
biomedical engineering. The selected person will work on developing deterministic and stochastic models of how biochemical signals, involved in synaptic plasticity, are affected by thermal gradients. Interested individuals should send a CV and cover letter
to Dr. Santamaria (fidel.santamaria@utsa.edu). The position is for one year, with the possibility of renewal. This position is only open to American citizens. Applicants must have experience with Python or Matlab and a background in physics or engineering
is preferred.
