The Kennedy lab is recruiting for multiple funded postdoctoral positions in theoretical and computational neuroscience, following our recent lab move to Scripps Research in San Diego, CA! Ongoing projects in the lab span topics in: reservoir computing with heterogeneous cell types, reinforcement learning/control theory analysis of complex behavior, neuromechanical whole-organism modeling, diffusion models for imitation learning/forecasting of mouse social interactions, joint analysis/modeling of effects of internal states on neural + vocalization + behavior data. With additional NIH and foundation funding for: characterizing progression of behavioral phenotypes in Parkinson’s, modeling cellular/circuit mechanisms underlying internal state-dependent changes in neural population dynamics, characterizing neural correlates of social relationships across species. Projects are flexible and can be tailored to applicants’ research and training goals, and there are abundant opportunities for new collaboration with local experimental groups. San Diego has a fantastic research community and very high quality of life. Our campus is located at the Pacific coast, at the northern edge of UCSD and not far from the Salk Institute. Postdoctoral stipends are well above NIH guidelines and include a relocation bonus, with research professorship positions available for qualified applicants.
