Postdoctoral Associate / Research Scientist in Systems Neuroscience and Neuroengineering University of Pittsburgh in United States

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 ha...

Postdoctoral Researcher / Staff Scientist in Closed-Loop Neurostimulation at The University of Texas at Austin . The Fenno Lab and Paydarfar Lab are jointly recruiting a PhD-level scientist to work at the intersection of computational modeling and translational bioengineering . The project focuses on closed-loop neurostimulation , bespoke waveform shaping, and precise neural control across the peripheral and central nervous system. This role is especially relevant for candidates interested in ne...

Postdoctoral researcher opening in the X Chen lab at the University of Pittsburgh, Department of Ophthalmology / School of Medicine, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The lab studies how vision arises from the interaction of sensory input from the eyes with imagination and expectation in the brain. Research uses electrophysiological recording and microstimulation in non-human primates to investigate visual processing during waking, dreaming, hallucinating, and electrical stimulation of...

Postdoctoral associate position in the X Chen lab at the University of Pittsburgh , Department of Ophthalmology, in Pittsburgh, United States . The lab studies how vision arises from input via the eyes together with imagination and expectation in the brain. The research focuses on neuroscience , vision , non-human primates , electrophysiology , microstimulation , and the use of chronically implanted neuroprostheses with >1000 electrodes to observe and modulate neuronal activity in vivo. The post...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in Neuroscience at the University of Exeter through the GW4 BioMed MRC Doctoral Training Partnership . Project title: How sights become signals for learning This project asks how the brain learns that a previously meaningless visual cue predicts something important, building on recent findings that activity in the superior colliculus is required for dopamine responses to learned visual cues. The student will investigate how visual information gains access to dopamine...
