We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow interested in performing
computational modeling of hippocampal networks and the generation of
spatial representations of hippocampal place cells. The project will
employ theoretical analyses of attractor networks and their relation
to place cell "remapping" phenomena, as well as spiking neuronal
network models to compare with actual neurophysiological recording
data. We encourage applications from (1) candidates with backgrounds
in quantitative neuroscience and (2) candidates with backgrounds in
computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, or related
fields, who are highly motivated to pursue research in computational
neuroscience. Please send a CV, a statement of prior research
accomplishments, and the names and e-mail addresses of 3 references to
James Knierim (james.j.knierim [ à ] uth.tmc.edu) or Kechen Zhang (kzhang4 [ à ] jhmi.edu
).
