Research Associate in Computational modelling and analysis of neuronal dynamics in response to perturbations Job Type: Full-Time. Starting Salary: £48056 - £56345 per annum 48056 plus benefits To find out more about the job please click the ‘apply for job’ button to be taken to Imperial job site About the role We are seeking two motivated postdoctoral researchers to join our team working on an exciting Wellcome Trust-funded project. The research focuses on investigating how altering neuronal dynamics affects brain function and dysfunction through computational modelling of neural circuits. What you would be doing Develop computational models of neural circuits with varied architectures, such as the primary visual cortex and prefrontal cortex, and olfactory bulb and piriform cortex Use these models to interpret experimental results from neural circuit perturbations Investigate the effects of altering neuronal dynamics on brain function and dysfunction Analysis of simulated or real population unit data in different states from different recordings (e.g. Neuropixels), and build an understanding of how stimulation could move the network between different neural states Collaborate with team members and experimental partners Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at conferences What we are looking for Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field Strong background in computational neuroscience and neural modelling Proficiency in programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB, and similar languages) Experience with large-scale neural network simulations Experience with analysing large-scale neural recordings Familiarity with neuroanatomy and neurophysiology Knowledge of dynamical systems theory Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills Strong written and verbal communication skills Experience of working in multidisciplinary teams (ideally across theoretical and experimental neuroscience) What we can offer you A unique collaborative environment: This is a joint project between teams at Imperial College London and the Francis-Crick Institute. Youll benefit from both environments, including: Access to state-of-the-art biomedical facilities Interaction with cutting-edge experimental labs An excellent work-life balance in a vibrant research community Invaluable experience and career development: Develop expertise in advanced computational modelling techniques Collaborate directly with world-class experimental labs Opportunity to work at the intersection of theoretical and experimental neuroscience Mentorship from leading researchers in the field Interdisciplinary learning: Exposure to diverse research areas within neuroscience and related fields Networking opportunities: Connect with a wide range of researchers, potentially leading to future collaborations Access to high-performance computing resources for large-scale simulations Professional development workshops and training programs Competitive salary and benefits package Further information This role is full time, fixed term based at Hammersmith Campus -On site only.
