Postdoctoral Scholar in Computational/Theoretical Neuroscience [NeuroNex]

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Lyle Muller at the Department of Mathematics and the Brain and Mind Institute at Western University (London, Ontario). This researcher will work with an international NeuroNex consortium studying the genetic, cellular, and network basis of working memory. The project will incorporate analysis of multichannel neural data and computational models ranging from single neurons to spiking neural networks and random graph theory. The researcher will work within a dynamic team and with data at multiple scales (transcriptomics, intracellular patch clamp, and extracellular spiking data).

This work will utilize a combination of large-scale numerical simulations, supervised/unsupervised learning, and analytical approaches. Prior experience with scientific computing languages (MATLAB, Julia, or Python) is preferred. Prior experience with computational modeling, dynamical systems, and random graph theory is also preferred. Western University offers an excellent research environment and support. Candidates can write the PI (lmuller2@uwo.ca) with a CV and statement of interest. Review of applications will begin on 18 April 2022.

Both our group and the University are deeply committed to fostering diversity in the sciences. Applications from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged, and any interested applicants can write the PI directly with questions about the research environment.
