About this position
Stanford University’s Cognitive and Translational Neuroscience Laboratory (CogT Lab) is advertising an open Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in AI and Computational Neuroscience.
The lab’s research centers on age-related cognitive decline, brain aging, and neurodegenerative diseases, with a special emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease. The ideal candidate will bring a strong neuroscience background together with advanced technical skills in machine learning, deep learning, foundation models/LLMs, and data modeling.
Required preparation includes a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Cognitive Neuroscience, Computational Neuroscience, Computer Science, or a related field. Applicants should also have experience with neuroimaging and physiological data analysis (for example, MRI and EKG), plus programming skills in Python, MATLAB, or R. Strong quantitative, analytical, written, and interpersonal communication skills are expected, along with the ability to work independently and in a multidisciplinary team.
The appointment is initially for 1 year, with the possibility of renewal for an additional 1–2 years by mutual agreement. Funding is described as an NIH-level competitive monthly stipend, and Stanford notes that the position pays at least the university’s required minimum for postdoctoral scholars.
To apply, candidates should send a cover letter, CV, and three references to Yang Merik Liu at [email protected]. The position is based at Stanford University in the United States.
