Three Postdoc Openings at the Krembil Computational Neuroscience hub in Toronto (Canada)
Three postdoctoral positions are available in the Computational Neuroscience hub of the Krembil Research Institute, University Health Network in Toronto (see https://kcnhub.com/). **Postdoc position at the Neuron-Glia Interactions Lab (PI: Dr. Maurizio DE PITTA, maurizio.depitta@uhnresearch.ca) The postdoc project aims to reconstruction, modeling and simulation of astrocytes by new techniques that leverage cross-fertilization of biophysical modeling, topology, connectomics, and statistical classification. The ideal candidate should be strongly committed to multidisciplinary research, and have a strong background in computational biology with excellent programming skills. Strong analytical skills and essential knowledge of astrocyte biology are preferred. The position is for 1 year with the possibility to extend it for at least two more years depending on performance.

Two postdoc positions are available at NSBSPL to develop a translational computing framework that allows to identify the relationship between electrical stimulation (e.g., deep brain stimulation) and neuronal responses at the cellular level, decipher their mechanistic pathways at the circuit level, and link neural activities to behavior and cognition. Both positions are for 1 year with the possibility to extend for at least one more year depending on performance. Requirements and details for each position are provided at https://kcnhub.com/jobs/computational-neuroscience-postdoc-position & https://kcnhub.com/jobs/neural-data-science-postdoc-position . Applications should include a short (<2 pages) letter of interest including a research statement, an updated CV, and the contact details of three academic advisors. The application should be provided as ONE SINGLE PDF and submitted to the PI of interest with the subject line “[Postdoc Application] <Full Name>” Contact details: Maurizio DE PITTA, maurizio.depitta@uhnresearch.ca Milad, LANKARANY, milad.lankarany@uhnresearch.ca Screening of applications will start by February 2022 and will continue until the position is filled.

The Krembil Research Institute (Krembil) is the research arm of the Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) and one of the seven research institutes at the University Health Network (UHN). Krembil’s research programs focus on the brain, the eye and arthritis. Its laboratories are located at the Krembil Discovery Tower and at TWH’s Main, McLaughlin and Fell Pavilions. Prior to November 13, 2015, Krembil was known as the Toronto Western Research Institute. For more information: https://www.uhn.ca/Research/Research_Institutes/Krembil. The Krembil Brain Institute (KBI) at Toronto Western Hospital is home to one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive teams of physicians and scientists uniquely working hand-in-hand to prevent and confront problems of the brain and spine. One in three Canadians will experience a brain-related condition such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or stroke in their lifetime. Through state-of-the-art patient care and advanced research, the Krembil Brain Institute works relentlessly to find new treatments and cures. The Krembil Computational Neuroscience ‘hub’ (KCNhub) is hosted on the fourth floor of the Krembil Discovery Tower. It constitutes a grouping of Krembil scientists doing computational neuroscience research on various topics that include fundamental and translational neuroscience, bioengineering and biophysics.The KCNhub interfaces with the strong, local neuroscience research environment at the KBI and the University Health Network, and originated from the need to build theoretical and mathematical neuroscience expertise directly interacting with stakeholders of the adjacent Toronto Western Hospital. ----- Maurizio DE PITTA Principal Investigator Neuron-Glia Interactions Lab (NGILab) Krembil Research Institute, 4KD-509 60 Leonard Ave, Toronto, ON M5T 0S8, CA +1.416.603.5800 ext. 3290 This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.
