Two positions are available in the Hasselmo laboratory in the Center for Systems Neuroscience at Boston University focused on:
1.) Analysis of neurophysiological data, and
2.) Computational modeling of cortical cognitive function. Each position could be hired as either a pre-doctoral staff position or a post-doctoral research position.
Analysis of neurophysiological data
This position involves working with multiple ongoing neurophysiological research projects, including unit and field potential recording in awake behaving rodents, and whole cell patch recording in brain slice preparations. The ideal candidate will be able to balance research projects efficiently and work closely with others in the lab. Interest in neuroscience and background in engineering or mathematics is preferred. Experience with scientific data analysis and signal processing is essential. Programming proficiency is required. Languages of use include: MATLAB, Python, Unix, C++, MySQL, though experience is not required in each. Experience with machine learning, computational modeling, and biomedical recording hardware/software is desirable.
Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain standardized analysis procedures and toolboxes for multiple experimental paradigms. Develop software for interfacing with experimental equipment, as required. Assist on experimental design and statistical analyses of data Develop processing procedures for non-standard data Compare and fit experimental results to biologically structured models. Prepare written presentations of results Maintain a uniform data flow and backup ...OnAir Post: Two positions Center for Systems Neuroscience
