Postdoctoral Researcher in Theoretical Biophysics of Brain Organoids
Biophysics, Computational Neuroscience, Physics of Life and postdoctoral position at Syracuse University
About
Develop theory for neuronal and metabolic activity in brain organoids, including sleep–wake behaviour, in the J. M. Schwarz Theory Group. Research connects physical learning and multiscale mechanics with experimental observations, collaborating with Orly Reiner and Yaakov Nahmias. The role includes student mentoring and an on-campus research presence. The initial appointment is one year with a possible second year. The employer lists the position as open until filled; the earlier priority-review date has passed.
Topics
- brain organoids
- metabolic activity
- sleep–wake behaviour
- physical learning
- multiscale mechanics
- experimental observations

- Orly Reiner
- Yaakov Nahmias
Requirements
PhD in a relevant area such as soft-matter or statistical biophysics, computational neuroscience, complex systems, applied mathematics or machine learning for physical systems. Submit a CV, cover letter, brief research-interest statement and at least three reference contacts through the university job portal. The position requires theoretical and computational research suited to collaborative organoid studies.
