Multiple graduate and postdoctoral research positions available in our group. Interested candidates are invited to write the PIs involved in each project with a CV to arrange an interview. Western University offers an excellent research environment and support. In particular, our lab and the University are deeply committed to fostering diversity and scientific outreach. Applications from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged, and applicants are welcomed to write directly with any questions about the research environment.
Postdoctoral Scholar in Computational/Theoretical Neuroscience [NeuroNex]
Department of Applied Mathematics
Brain and Mind Institute
Western University
We currently have an opening for a postdoctoral scholar in computational/theoretical neuroscience. This researcher will work with an international NeuroNex consortium studying the genetic, cellular, and network basis of working memory. The project will incorporate analysis of multichannel neural data and computational models ranging from single neurons to spiking neural networks and (un)supervised learning algorithms. The researcher will work within a dynamic team and with data at multiple scales (transcriptomics, intracellular patch clamp, and extracellular spiking data).
PhD Positions in Computational and Theoretical Neuroscience
Department of Applied Mathematics
Brain and Mind Institute
Western University
We currently have openings for graduate research positions in computational/theoretical neuroscience in the group of Lyle Muller at the Department of Applied Mathematics and the Brain and Mind Institute of Western University (London, Ontario). Projects will focus on new computer vision algorithms for neural data, network models, and computation with spatiotemporal dynamics in neural systems. Analysis, modeling, and theory will be conducted in close collaboration with experimental colleagues, including multi-site recordings in NHP (John Reynolds, Salk Institute; Julio Martinez-Trujillo, Western) and human clinical intracranial recordings (London Health Sciences Centre). Potential students can apply through the programs in Applied Mathematics or Neuroscience.
