Research Associate in Computational modelling and analysis of neuronal dynamics in response to perturbations
Publicerad 2024-10-24
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.
Develop computational models of neural circuits with varied architectures, such as the primary visual cortex and prefrontal cortex, and olfactory bulb and piriform cortexUse these models to interpret experimental results from neural circuit perturbationsInvestigate the effects of altering neuronal dynamics on brain function and dysfunctionAnalysis of simulated or real population unit data in different states from different recordings (. Neuropixels), and build an understanding of how stimulation could move the network between different neural statesCollaborate with team members and experimental partnersPublish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at conferences . in Neuroscience, Physics, Computer Science, or a related fieldStrong background in computational neuroscience and neural modellingProficiency in programming (., Python, MATLAB, and similar languages)Experience with large-scale neural network simulationsExperience with analysing large-scale neural recordingsFamiliarity with neuroanatomy and neurophysiologyKnowledge of dynamical systems theoryExcellent analytical and problem-solving skillsStrong written and verbal communication skillsExperience of working in multidisciplinary teams (ideally across theoretical and experimental neuroscience) A unique collaborative environment: This is a joint project between teams at Imperial College London and the Francis-Crick Institute. You'll benefit from both environments, including:Access to state-of-the-art biomedical facilitiesInteraction with cutting-edge experimental labsAn excellent work-life balance in a vibrant research communityInvaluable experience and career development:Develop expertise in advanced computational modelling techniquesCollaborate directly with world-class experimental labsOpportunity to work at the intersection of theoretical and experimental neuroscienceMentorship from leading researchers in the fieldInterdisciplinary learning: Exposure to diverse research areas within neuroscience and related fieldsNetworking opportunities: Connect with a wide range of researchers, potentially leading to future collaborationsAccess to high-performance computing resources for large-scale simulationsProfessional development workshops and training programsCompetitive salary and benefits package
