Center for Systems Neuroscience Postdoctoral Fellowship

Postdoctoral position, Boston University Center for Systems Neuroscience Distinguished Fellow

Deadline
November 30, 2024

Description

One post-doctoral position will be available as a Center for Systems Neuroscience Distinguished Fellow at Boston University for new applicants with extensive experience in cutting-edge systems neuroscience methodologies in animal models or humans (e.g., calcium imaging, optogenetics, recording of large populations of individual neurons, labeling of cell-type specific populations of neurons, structural and functional human neuroimaging, fNIRS, EEG/ERP, advanced data analysis and computational modeling). Funding is available for a candidate at the post-doctoral level to work for two years as a Center for Systems Neuroscience Distinguished Fellow with faculty from our neuroscience community in any college at Boston University. Potential candidates should be recruited by one or two of the individual faculty members in the Boston University Center for Systems Neuroscience. The faculty member can then submit the candidate CV and a one page description of an innovative research project using new technology to the Center for Systems Neuroscience Distinguished Fellow program for selection of candidates. This fellowship is not intended to serve as bridge funding for post-doctoral fellows already at Boston University.

Applications should be submitted to the CSN administrator junshen@bu.edu. Review of all applications by the CSN Executive Committee will begin on Dec. 1, 2024 with a start date in summer of 2025 or as appropriate. These post-doctoral funds provide up to two years of funding with a particular emphasis on using or developing new technologies in faculty laboratories, and the expectation that candidates would apply for independent post-doctoral funding or shift to faculty funding after two years. We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, physical ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, military service, pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition, or because of marital, parental, or veteran status. We are a VEVRAA Federal Contractor.

Requirements
Candidates should have extensive experience in the development and use of cutting-edge methodologies in systems neuroscience in animal models or humans (e.g., calcium imaging, optogenetics, recording of large populations of individual neurons, labeling of cell-type specific populations of neurons, structural and functional human neuroimaging, fNIRS, EEG/ERP, advanced data analysis and computational modeling).  Candidates should have a PhD in a field related to neuroscience with publications demonstrating their effective use of innovative methodologies.
