Postdoctoral Fellows in Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience at UChicago

The Grossman Center for Quantitative Biology and Human Behavior <https://neuroscience.uchicago.edu/GrossmanCenter> at the University of Chicago seeks outstanding applicants for multiple postdoctoral positions in computational and theoretical neuroscience. We especially welcome applicants who develop mathematical approaches, computational models, and machine learning methods to study the brain at the circuits, systems, or cognitive levels. The current faculty members of the Grossman Center to work with are: (informal enquiries are welcome) - Brent Doiron’s lab investigates how the cellular and synaptic circuitry of neuronal circuits supports the complex dynamics and computations that are routinely observed in the brain. ( bdoiron@uchicago.edu). - Jorge Jaramillo’s lab investigates how subcortical structures interact with cortical circuits to subserve cognitive processes such as memory, attention, and decision making. (jorgejaramillo@uchicago.edu). - Ramon Nogueira’s lab investigates the geometry of representations as the computational support of cognitive processes like abstraction in noisy artificial and biological neural networks. (rnogueira@uchicago.edu). - Marcella Noorman’s lab investigates how properties of synapses, neurons, and circuits shape the neural dynamics that enable flexible and efficient computation. (noormanm@uchicago.edu). - Samuel Muscinelli’s lab studies how the anatomy of brain circuits both governs learning and adapts to it. We combine analytical theory, machine learning, and data analysis, in close collaboration with experimentalists. ( smuscinelli@uchicago.edu) Appointees will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and multiple opportunities for collaboration with exceptional experimental labs within the Neuroscience Institute, as well as other labs from the departments of Physics, Computer Sciences, and Statistics. The Grossman Center offers competitive postdoctoral salaries in the vibrant and international city of Chicago, and a rich intellectual environment that includes the Argonne National Laboratory <https://www.anl.gov/> and UChicago’s Data Science Institute <https://datascience.uchicago.edu/>. The Neuroscience Institute is currently engaged in a major expansion that includes the incorporation of several new faculty members in the next few years. APPLICATIONS: Please send your application before May 1st, 2025 as a single PDF file to neurotheory@uchicago.edu. It must include: 1. CV with publications highlighted; 2. A motivation letter specifying the types of projects you would like to work on; 3. The names and contact details of two academic references. Earliest start date: July 1st, 2025, or via mutual agreement. https://neuroscience.uchicago.edu/grossmancenter-postdoctoral-fellows-theore... *The University of Chicago is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, national or ethnic origin, shared ancestry, age, status as an individual with a disability, military or veteran status, genetic information, or other protected classes under the law.
