Dear comp-neuro community,
I am hiring a postdoctoral associate to join my research group at the University of West Florida, supported by the UWF Center for Computational Intelligence.
The position focuses on developing interpretable AI and computational modeling frameworks to study fundamental questions in neuroscience. The postdoctoral researcher will work on projects integrating neural recordings, dynamical systems models, recurrent neural networks, and modern AI approaches to study cognition, neural dynamics, and motor control. The position will also involve close collaboration with experimental collaborators, model-data integration, generation of testable predictions, manuscript preparation, and development of preliminary results for NSF/NIH grant proposals.
Candidates with backgrounds in computational neuroscience, neuroscience, applied mathematics, statistics/biostatistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, or related fields are encouraged to apply. Strong programming skills in Python and/or MATLAB are required. Experience with computational neuroscience, interpretable AI, machine learning, dynamical systems, recurrent neural networks, neural population data analysis, EEG/ERP analysis, or reproducible computational workflows would be especially welcome.
The position is approved for 2 years, with funding available to extend to a 3rd year depending on progress and agreed-upon goals. The salary range is $65,000–$80,000 annually. The preferred response date is July 15, 2026. The position is based at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida. Postdocs are expected to live locally and work on campus, with schedule flexibility coordinated with the PI.
Applicants must apply through the official UWF Careers website:
Applicants should submit a CV, letter of interest, and three recommendations through the UWF application system. Please note that employment-based visa sponsorship will not be considered for this position.
Please feel free to share this announcement with potentially interested candidates.
