Job Description
Postdoctoral Research Associate Position in Computational Neuroscience (Computational Modelling of Decision Making)
Applications are invited for an externally funded Postdoctoral Research Associate position at the Intelligent Systems Research Centre (ISRC) in Ulster University, UK. The successful candidate will develop and apply computational modelling, and theoretical and analytical techniques to understand brain and behavioural data across primate species, and to apply biologically based neural network modelling to elucidate mechanisms underlying perceptual decision-making. The duration of the position is 24 months, from January 2024 till end of 2025.
The personnel will be based at the ISRC in Ulster University, working with Prof. KongFatt Wong-Lin and his team, while collaborating closely with international collaborators in the USA and the Republic of Ireland, namely, Prof. Michael Shadlen at Columbia University (USA), Prof. Stephan Bickel at Northwell-Hofstra School of Medicine (USA), Prof. Redmond O'Connell at Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), Prof. Simon Kelly at University College Dublin (Ireland), and Prof. S. Shushruth at University of Pittsburgh (USA).
The ISRC is dedicated to developing a bio-inspired computational basis for AI to power future cognitive technologies. This is achieved through understanding how the brain works at multiple levels, from cells to cognition and apply that understanding to create models and technologies that solve complex issues that face people and society.
All applicants should hold a degree in in Computational Neuroscience, Computational Biology, Neuroscience, Computing, Engineering, Mathematics, Data Science, Physical Sciences, Biology, or a cognate area.
