Postdoctoral Position in Computational Neuroscience, Drexel University College of Medicine, USA

Postdoctoral/research associate position in computational neuroscience

A postdoctoral/research associate position is available in the Lab for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience at the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy, Drexel University College of Medicine (Philadelphia, PA, USA). Current projects in the lab supported by NIH include: (1) computational modeling of the brainstem respiratory network and neural control of breathing and (2) computational modeling of the spinal circuitry involved in the locomotor rhythm generation and neural control of locomotion. Requirements for the position include a PhD, experience in modeling of single neurons (in the Hodgkin-Huxley style) and small and/or high-scale biological neural networks, and strong C++ programming skills. Experience in the analysis of nonlinear systems is an advantage. The successful candidate will be involved in ongoing collaborations with several research groups in the USA and other countries (UK, Canada) performing complementary experimental studies.

The position is for at least 2 years and is available immediately. Interested individuals should respond by email with a CV and names of at least 3 references to Dr. Ilya A. Rybak: rybak[ at ]drexel.edu
