The Kennedy lab is recruiting for multiple funded postdoctoral positions in theoretical and computational neuroscience, following our recent lab move to Scripps Research in sunny San Diego, California. Ongoing projects in the lab span topics in reservoir computing, reinforcement learning/control theory analysis of complex behavior, neuromechanical whole-organism modeling, computational behavior analysis, and joint analysis/modeling of neural and behavioral data collected in socially interacting animals. We have newly acquired funding to characterize progression of behavioral phenotypes in Parkinson’s, to model cellular/circuit mechanisms underlying internal state-dependent changes in neural population dynamics, and to characterize the neural and behavioral dynamics of pairs of interacting animals across multiple species. We also have openings for machine learning work in imitation learning/generative modeling of mouse social interactions using a massive 15-lab dataset. Projects are flexible and can be tailored to applicants’ research and training goals, and there are abundant opportunities for new collaboration with local experimental groups. San Diego has a fantastic research community and very high quality of life, with excellent support for international students at Scripps. Our campus is located at the Pacific coast, at the northern edge of UCSD not far from the Salk Institute. The Neuroscience department at Scripps is a powerhouse in the study of the nervous system’s sensing of and interaction with the rest of the body, making it an ideal environment for the study of internal state-dependent modulation of behavior. We offer competitive postdoctoral stipends that reflect coastal cost-of-living expectations and include a relocation bonus, with research professorship positions available for qualified applicants.
