A postdoctoral position is available in Braden Brinkman's group in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Stony Brook University, located on Long Island in New York State.

The Brinkman group studies mathematical models of sensory coding and collective network dynamics, with a focus on how environmental and physiological constraints shape coding and computation in the brain. For more information on our work and the department, please visit the PI's website https://www.sites.google.com/site/bradenbrinkman/ and the Stony Brook Neurobiology and Behavior homepage https://renaissance.stonybrookmedicine.edu/neurobiology.

Candidates must have a strong background in quantitative methods; background in statistical physics is a plus. Position is available immediately, but we are also accepting applications from applicants expecting to graduate by June 1, 2019.
