Postdoctoral Fellow in Systems Neuroscience at Vanderbilt University (Department of Psychology). The Bastos Lab is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to study the circuit mechanisms of predictive processing using next-generation high-density electrophysiology in non-human primates . The project focuses on how predictions and prediction errors are represented and routed across cortical layers, cortical areas, and subcortical structures, including thalamus, basal ganglia, and hippocampus. The lab de...

About this position

Postdoctoral opening in the Cognition, Computation, and Consciousness Lab at Vanderbilt University, led by André M. Bastos.

The project focuses on scaling laminar recordings from 128 to 512–1,024+ channels to study how predictions and prediction errors are routed across cortex, thalamus, basal ganglia, and hippocampus in behaving macaques. The lab is interested in questions about feedforward and feedback signaling, cortical computation, oscillations, and population dynamics.

Applicants should have a PhD or be close to completing one in neuroscience, computational neuroscience, neuroengineering, cognitive neuroscience, or a related field. Relevant experience may include electrophysiology, modeling, signal processing, or neurotechnology. Non-human primate experience is not required. The lab especially welcomes candidates interested in building agentic AI tools for data analysis.

The position is based at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, United States. The lab is newly R01-funded and growing, with collaborators across Vanderbilt and beyond.

To apply, send a CV, research statement, and references to [email protected]. Review is rolling, so early applications are encouraged.

Funding details

The lab is newly R01-funded and growing, indicating funded postdoctoral support, but no stipend amount or exact funding package is stated.

What's required

Applicants should have a PhD or be soon-to-be PhD graduates in neuroscience, computational neuroscience, neuroengineering, cognitive neuroscience, or a related field. Experience in electrophysiology, modeling, signal processing, or neurotechnology is welcome. NHP experience is not required. Interest in building agentic AI for data analysis is especially encouraged.

How to apply
