Applications are invited for an NIH-funded
post-doctoral
position to study mechanisms and functions of sleep oscillations.
The successful
candidate will join a research team involving the laboratories of
Eric Halgren
(UCSD), Terry Sejnowski (UCSD) and Maxim Bazhenov (UC Riverside).
For relevant references
see, Chen et al, Journal
of Physiology (London), 2012, Jul 9; Bonjean et al, Journal of Neuroscience, 2012,
32(15):5250-63. The ultimate
goal of this work is to understand mechanisms and functions of
sleep rhythms during
stage 2 sleep and the role of sleep oscillations in memory and
learning.
The successful candidate will be responsible
for the design of
a thalamocortical model generating sleep rhythms based on existing
experimental
data. These models will be used to understand underlying neural
mechanisms, as
well as guide data analysis and produce novel experimental
predictions.
Qualified applicants are expected to have experience in
computational/theoretical
neuroscience and conductance-based neural modeling. Programming
experience with
C/C++ is required. Knowledge of PYTHON or MATLAB is a plus.
The University of California offers excellent
benefits.
Salary is based on research experience. The initial appointment is
for 1 year with
a possibility of extension. Applicants should send a brief
statement of
research interests, a CV and the names of three references to
Maxim Bazhenov at
maksim.bazhenov@ucr.edu
