Investigate how neural circuits support motor learning and skilled movement. The work combines electrophysiology, genetic targeting, circuit manipulation and analysis of behaviour and neural activity.
The Neural Dynamics accelerator at the Allen Institute studies how the brain generates flexible behavior. Reporting to the Institute's President and CEO, the Executive Vice President and Co-Director co-leads its scientific vision and long-range strategic plan and is the single point of accountability for people, administration and operations. The research…
The Cognitive and Perceptual Development Lab directed by John R. Pruett Jr. at WashU Medicine is recruiting a cognitive neuroscience postdoctoral research associate to work with functional connectivity MRI data from large studies of brain and behavior development in infants at risk for autism. Under Dr. Pruett's supervision the postdoc processes and…
The Kumar Lab in the Department of Otolaryngology at Washington University in St. Louis runs an NIH-funded program on the cortical cellular and circuit mechanisms behind hearing difficulty in noisy environments after noise-induced hearing loss, integrating systems neuroscience, genetics, pharmacology and computational approaches. Methods include in vivo…
The lab of Vikram Gadagkar, Freeman Hrabowski Scholar at Columbia University, uses the songbird courtship system with computational, theoretical and experimental approaches to discover how brains evaluate self-generated behavior and the behavior of others, with relevance to disorders such as Parkinson's disease and autism. The Research Technician conducts…
The Jazayeri Lab, led by Mehrdad Jazayeri at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, studies the neural basis of cognition in humans and animal models across systems, computational and cognitive neuroscience, recording and perturbing neural activity as animals perform complex tasks. The Research Technician I divides time roughly equally between…
The Sternson Lab at the University of California, San Diego studies how neural circuits control appetite and motivated behavior. Its CaRMA imaging framework links large-scale measurements of neural activity in behaving mice to post hoc molecular identification of the same recorded neurons, combining in vivo two-photon calcium imaging with spatial…
The A. Mathis Group for Computational Neuroscience and AI (CNAI), led by Professor Alexander Mathis, is recruiting two postdoctoral fellows. The group studies how to measure and understand behaviour with AI, how brains and embodied agents learn to control the body, and how the brain builds a sense of the body through proprioception; it develops open-source…
The Neuroscience Institute at Carnegie Mellon University is recruiting a tenure-track Assistant Professor working at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, with a substantive connection to neuroscience through data, theory or modelling. Example topics include generative models of brain data, AI-based analysis tools for neural activity…
Computational and theoretical neuroscience faculty search in the School of Medicine. Research may address neural circuits and population dynamics, development, perception, cognition, learning, behaviour or machine-learning analysis of neural data. The appointee establishes an independent funded programme and collaborates with experimental researchers across…
Lead analysis of large neural-population recordings collected during flexible decision-making tasks. Study distributed brain dynamics and adaptive behaviour using recordings from thousands of neurons across multiple regions.
A one-year machine-learning research internship with the Allen Institute Neural Dynamics accelerator. The intern will analyze recordings from two genetically distinct neural populations in the striatum alongside motor output, muscle activity and behavioral video. The project asks how shared and population-specific neural activity encodes movement, using…
The goal of the Neural Dynamics accelerator is to understand how the brain generates flexible behavior. We aim to uncover the algorithms—implemented by dynamics in brain-wide neural circuits—that allow animals to build internal models, process information, and choose actions. We are searching for a Scientist to develop data-driven theories of how circuit…
