Dr. Andrew Pruszynski (​www.pruszynskilab.com​) and Dr. Jörn Diedrichsen (​ www.diedrichsenlab.org​) are looking to hire a postdoctoral fellow/associate in sensorimotor neuroscience. The incumbent will help develop and lead a project involving a mix of non­-human primate neurophysiology and computational neuroscience, including (1) large­-scale neural recordings in sensorimotor cortex during complex reaching and grasping actions and (2) biologically­-realistic neural networks (done in collaboration with Dr. Timothy Lillicrap, Google Deepmind). The incumbent must have a PhD in Neuroscience (or related area) and a strong track record with single­-cell electrophysiology in primates as witnessed by excellent peer­-reviewed publications; a strong computational background, particularly experience with machine learning, is also desired. Our labs are located at the Brain and Mind Institute (w​ ww.uwo.ca/bmi​) and the Robarts Research Institute (​www.robarts.ca)​ , both at Western University in London, Canada. Systems and cognitive neuroscience is a key area of research strength at Western University, with more than 30 Principal Investigators and 200 trainees. Further details about working as a postdoctoral fellow/associate at Western University and about living in London, Canada can be found here: www.grad.uwo.ca/postdoctoral_scholars/prospective/index.html​. Annual salary depends on level of experience but will be no less than $45,000 per year. Funding is available for up to 5 years. Start date is negotiable but ideally would be no later than January 2017. Reimbursement for moving expenses will be available. Applications marked with reference number AP­-CIHR­-PDF­-2016 should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file to andrew.pruszynski@uwo.ca. The application deadline is September 15th, 2016. Please include all the following components: 1.​ ​A personal statement describing research interests, experience, and goals (<2 pages) 2.​ ​A complete curriculum vitae 3.​ ​Names and contact information of three references
