Postdoctoral scholarship in Integrative Neurophysiology – with a focus on analysis of physiological recordings of brain activity in freely moving animals.

A two-year full-time scholarship analyzes corticostriatal circuits in freely moving mice and rats, particularly Parkinson’s disease and levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Data include local field potentials, single-unit recordings, optical activity and movement videos. The fellow develops reproducible pipelines and independent analytical projects, relating neural population states to movement kinematics and leading manuscripts with experimental collaborators in Umeå and Lund. Start date is by agreement.

PhD in neuroscience, physics, engineering, mathematics, computer science or a related field; documented quantitative data-analysis and programming experience. Neural-signal analysis, Python/MATLAB and video/kinematics or machine learning are merits; expertise in every data type is not expected. A relevant doctorate must be completed by the scholarship decision. The advert gives priority under a three-year doctorate rule and allows earlier degrees for specified circumstances including illness, parental leave, union duties, military service or comparable assignments. Good English and independent collaborative research skills are required. Submit a brief cover letter, CV/publications and two referees through Varbi.
