[Comp-neuro] postdoctoral position in experimental and computational neuroscience

[Roberto Fernández Galán]

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the opening of a postdoctoral position in
experimental and computational neuroscience for up to two years, starting
around March 2008, in the Department of Neurosciences at Case Western
Reserve University in Cleveland. The position will be devoted to the study
of spontaneous activity in cortical networks from in vitro preparations of
the mouse brain. The ideal candidate will have a strong experimental
background in electrophysiology and/or imaging techniques. Some mathematical
or computational background is not required, but will be considered an
asset.

We offer the opportunity to join a young and energetic research group that
applies a multidisciplinary approach to studying neural network dynamics.
The selected candidate will have the chance to learn and further develop
solid computational and analytical skills in an interactive environment. The
appointee will receive a competitive salary according to the candidate’s
experience. 

To apply for this position, please send (preferably in PDF format) a cover
letter, a CV including a list of publications, and the names and electronic
addresses of two mentors willing to provide a recommendation letter to Dr.
Roberto Fernández Galán (email: rfgalan at gmail.com). Applications will be
accepted until the position is filled. In employment, as in education, Case
Western Reserve University is committed to Equal Opportunity and Diversity.

Please, feel free to forward this announcement to anybody who might be
interested. 

Additional information about the lab, the department and the city is
attached below.

Sincerely,
Roberto Fernández Galán, PhD
