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 and the Fields Institute offer an excellent research environment and support. In particular, we are deeply committed to 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 Scholars in Computational/Theoretical Neuroscience
Department of Mathematics, Western University
Fields Lab for Network Science
Postdoctoral research positions are available in the Department of Mathematics at Western University (London, ON) and the Fields Lab for Network Science (Toronto, ON). These positions will be supervised by Lyle Muller and involve collaborations with advanced methods of brain imaging (Mark Schnitzer, Stanford), neuroengineering (Duygu Kuzum, UCSD), theoretical neuroscience (Todd Coleman, Stanford), and neurophysiology of visual perception (John Reynolds, Salk Institute for Biological Studies). In collaboration with this multi-disciplinary team, researchers will bring together data science, computational science, and applied mathematics to understand spatiotemporal dynamics and computation in the circuits of neocortex. The project may include intermittent travel between labs to present results and facilitate collaborative work.
PhD Positions in Computational and Theoretical Neuroscience
Department of Mathematics, Western University
Fields Lab for Network Science
Graduate research positions in computational/theoretical neuroscience are available in the Department of Mathematics at Western University (London, ON) and the Fields Lab for Network Science (Toronto, ON). 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.
