Neuroinformatics Positions Available

Starting 1 January 2003

At the Laboratory of Neuroinformatics in New York City, funded by the
NIH's Human Brain Project.
-----------
The Laboratory of Neuroinformatics at Cornell's Weill Medical College
in New York City seeks neuroscientists-at the post-doc level or
above-with significant experience in neuroinformatics,
bioinformatics, or computational biology. Successful candidates will
combine ability and vision to join a team developing an integrated
suite of neuroinformatic databases, tools, algorithms, languages, and
standards. We provide generous salary and benefits and the excitement
of life in New York.
Our work in computational neuroinformatics, a newly-emerging domain
of neuroscience, is funded by the Human Brain Project via NIMH and
NINDS. We support NIH's new data sharing mandate via thrusts
including:
    - A neurophysiology database (neurodatabase.org) accepts,
characterizes, and archives electrophysiological recordings from
multiple techniques and preparations, searching and displaying data
and metadata on any networked computer via Java2.
    - To advance our understanding of neural coding, we are developing
information-based analytic algorithms to be applied to database data
via our parallel computational array.
    - BrainML is an XML-based multilevel data description methodology
for neuroscience. BrainML schemas interoperably specify the
organization, structure, and relation of datasets, queries, tools,
and models. Lexicons enable search and description via
controlled-vocabulary hierarchies of neuroscience terms.
   - In partnership with Bruxton Corporation, we are developing tools
to permit database access from within several popular data
acquisition and analysis packages.
  - GENIE, the Generalized Extensible Neuroscience Internet Examiner,
is a BrainML-based system of peer-to-peer self-organizing webs for
serving and sharing neurophysiology data by individuals or community
databases.

Those attending the Society for Neuroscience meeting may contact
Daniel Gardner via the placement service (employer number 204240);
otherwise, email CV, letter of interest, and the names of three
references to: dan@aplysia.med.cornell.edu.
