From: Robert Butera (rbutera@ece.gatech.edu)
Date: Thu Mar 22 2001 - 10:37:17 MST
Postdoc Position -- experimental and computational neuroscience
My lab has an immediate postdoctoral opening in the general area of the
study of synchronization and pattern generating mechanisms in invertebrate
systems.
Requirements:
- experience in cellular electrophysiology (required)
- experience in computational modeling in electrophysiology (required)
- knowledge of bifurcation theory (w.r.t. dynamics of spiking and bursting
neurons) (strongly preferred)
- experience in "dynamic clamp" techniques (preferred)
- strong computer skills, not afraid of Linux (preferred)
- knowledge of phase models, PRC theory (helpful)
This position is for 3-4 years. Pay is very competitive with existing
NIH/NSF pay scales. For the right candidate, there is considerable room
within this project to determine the direction of the research.
Email me for more information.
About the lab: My lab (www.neuro.gatech.edu/~rbutera/) is part of the
Laboratory for Neuroengineering (www.neuro.gatech.edu), and is affiliated
with the Schools of Electrical/Computer and Biomedical Engineering at
Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA. The Dept. of Biomedical Engineering is joint
between Georgia Tech and Emory University and is rapidly growing in the area
of Neuroscience/engineering.
Our Laboratory for Neuroengineering is rapidly growing, with areas of
research spanning neuromorphic VLSI, computational neuroscience, cellular
and tissue electrophysiology, nonlinear dynamics, and neurotrauma. We have
close ties and research collaborations with neuroscience program and
physiology faculty at Emory University. Other faculty in the lab include
Paul Hasler (ECE), Steve DeWeeth (ECE/BME), Bill Ditto (BME/Physics), and
Michelle LaPlaca (BME).
This position will remain open until a well-qualified candidate is
identified. Women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
Postdoctoral appointment are possible through either the Schools of
Electrical or Biomedical Engineering.
Please send all inquiries, including a CV and summary of past research to
robert.butera@ece.gatech.edu.
