Postdoctoral Fellow in Systems Neuroscience: High-Density Neurophysiology and Predictive Processing Vanderbilt University in United States

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...

Two PhD openings are available in systems neuroscience at EPFL Neuro in Lausanne, Switzerland, in the lab of James Priestley (Priestley Lab). The projects focus on the neural computations underlying rapid memory formation and memory-guided behaviour, with an emphasis on hippocampal-cortical networks , rapid plasticity, neural population dynamics, and memory allocation/recall. The research is part of the ERC-funded project “DYNAGRAM” , which will investigate novel virtual reality paradigms for fe...

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 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...
