Postdoctoral position at the Weizmann Institute - Cohen lab
Weizmann Institute of Science
Have you ever wondered what are the mechanisms by which the brain organizes flexible and hierarchical motor sequences? What is the connection between long-range syntactic relations in behavior sequences and the ongoing execution of motor elements? How does circuit plasticity affords dynamics of such rich behaviors and learning of new syntax rules?
Our lab studies how the brain learns, controls, and perceives the syntax of flexible behavior.
We combine behavior studies and cutting edge physiology in songbirds with machine learning and neural networks theory.
Because our projects integrate across disciplines and levels of analysis, there are many ways to contribute and opportunities to create exciting new directions in systems neuroscience.
Join us! We are looking for excellent graduate students and postdocs interested in studying the neural basis of complex and flexible behavior.
Applicants should have a STEM background (Math, CS, Physics, Engineering, Neuroscience, Biology, or related field).
If you’re interested, please send me an email and tell me about yourself and about your interest in the lab.

PhD and Postdoc positions on the neuroscience of navigation and decision-making
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
How do you choose a restaurant for date night? The food obviously needs to be good, but the place shouldn’t be too far, especially if there is heavy traffic in the evening. Such decisions are cognitively challenging because for each possible option, you are likely estimating the distance, considering road conditions, and trying to gauge how the food was during your previous visits. After all that, these properties need to be traded off and compared so that a final decision can be made.
We are an interdisciplinary lab, that aims to understand how the brain solves such challenging problems. To achieve this, we use large scale neural recording techiniques (tetrodes and neuropixels), neural perturbations, and high dimensional neural data analysis.
We are looking for PhD students and postdocs who are interested to work at the interface of experimental and computational neuroscience. If you find out questions and techniques interesting, lets chat during the meeting (or just feel free to send me an email).

Post-doc in computational neuroscience
UT Southwestern Medical Center
The Computational Neuroscience lab directed by Dr. Wenhao Zhang (www.zhang-cnl.org) at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) Department of Bioinformatics and Brain Institute is currently seeking up to two postdoctoral fellows to study fundamental and cutting-edge problems in computational neuroscience.
The ongoing research topics include:
1) The neural circuit implementation of Bayesian inference.
The Bayesian inference has been formulated as the math framework underlying perception and cognition. We have been asking how recurrent networks implement Bayesian sampling (Zhang, Nat. Comms. 23; bioRxiv 20), and using this framework to explain the multisensory integration (Zhang, eLife 19; J. Neurosci., 16; NeurIPS 13), causal inference (Zhang, NeurIPS 19; 16), and confidence computation in decision-making.
2) The recurrent circuit mechanism of stimulus equivariant representation through group symmetry (invariance/equivariance) as the designing principle of neural circuit processing. We have used the group theory to explain flies’ compass circuit (Zhang, NeurIPS 22) and temporal scaling of recurrent circuits (Zuo, NeurIPS 23).
3) Dynamical analysis of recurrent neural circuit models.
We are interested in the dynamics of continuous attractor networks (Zhang, bioRxiv 20; F1000 Faculty Rev) and the excitation-inhibition balanced spiking networks.
4) NeuroAI: developing next-generation brain-inspired AI.
Our current collaborations with experimental neuroscientists on campus include Brad Pfeiffer (hippocampus, learning and memory), Todd Roberts (songbirds), Zhongzheng Fu (cognitive control in humans), Daisuke Hattori (Drosophila, learning and memory). The Department of Bioinformatics at UTSW provides competitive salary ($70K + $20K after postdoc fellowship) and benefits packages.
Interested candidates should email Wenhao with your CV and a statement of research interests and research plan, and the names and contact information for three references.

Postdoc w Driscoll group at Allen Institute
Allen Institute
Excited to announce that I will be leading a new theory/computation research group at the Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics, and we’re hiring a postdoc!
Together, we will use neural network simulations and reverse engineering approaches to develop hypotheses for how the brain balances stability and flexibility for lifelong learning. We will work closely with experimentalists to gain insights about biology and help design the experimental approach.
I was drawn to the new dynamics institute at Allen because of its great leadership (Rui Costa and Karel Svoboda) and the seemingly limitless possibilities for experimental collaboration. The Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics is brand new and already kicking off with multiple exciting projects tracking several neuromodulators in conjunction with neural activity (many Neuropixels probes in one brain) and behavior. There’s a lot of interest here in building a tight feedback loop between theory and experiments.
Read more about my research interests here: https://lauradriscoll.github.io/research/
I’m happy to be able to offer postdoc pay that is generally higher than a typical academic position, with a starting salary at 95K. As your mentor, I will continue the approach of my postdoc advisor, Krishna Shenoy, of ‘putting people first’. I will try my best to get you wherever you want to go with your career. Seattle is a great city with incredible nature all around.
I’m also setting up adjunct affiliations at University of Washington, so anyone that might want to do their graduate thesis with me should apply to the graduate program in neuroscience at UW.

Computational Modeling and Systems Neuroscience with large-scale calcium imaging data
Rockefeller University
Our lab has developed a portfolio of optical technologies that allow for large-scale and whole-brain optical recording of neuroactivity at high spatiotemporal resolution across model systems with our most recent imaging technology capable of recording the activity of 1 million neurons distributed across different depths of both hemispheres of the mouse cortex at cellular resolution. Using this data we have found an unbounded scaling of dimensionality with neuron number that is mainly driven by an ever-increasing number of dimensions without immediate behavioral correlates. They exhibit multi-scale temporal dynamics that cortex-wide distributed, highlighting that large-scale recording is required to uncover the full neural substrates of internal and potentially cognitive processes.
Which fundamental questions in neuroscience would you be able to uniquely address with such capabilities and how would you use such data to inform computational models about the brain?
We are looking for highly creative and ambitious candidates interested in pursuing projects based on their own ideas or within existing lines of work at the interface of experimental and computational system neuroscience.
Qualifications
• Ph.D. in computational / systems neuroscience, computer science, physics, electrical engineering or related field.
• Prior experience in one and more of these areas: statistical analysis of large-scale experimental data, computational modeling, machine leaning, systems neuroscience, multi-photon microscopy, design of behavioral experiments in rodents.

Postdoctoral or PhD position (ML and data analysis) in the Computational Neurophysiology Lab
Humboldt- University Berlin
Our group uses computational and mathematical methods to investigate neural computation in nervous systems of diverse species (from jellyfish to humans). We are interested in how cellular, biophysical properties impact circuit behaviour, often including a perspective how the system may have been optimized during evolution and aiming for a mechanistic understanding of information processing. Currently, we are looking for scientists with an interest in applying machine learning to the analysis of biological data, like the connectomes of diverse species. A new research direction in the lab encompasses mitochondria, both as a means to better understand the energy efficiency of neural computation as well as to gain insights about the functional relevance of connectivity beyond what can be extracted from synaptic anatomy alone.
We are located on a green campus in the center of Berlin. If you have a strong quantitative background, are highly motivated to work on biological questions and would have fun working in an interdisciplinary, international team, we look forward to hearing from you via e-mail (contact Susanne Schreiber) or in person at our poster 3-115 on Saturday afternoon.

Postdoc: Finding & modelling signatures of learning in neural populations
SISSA
We are looking for a post-doc to help us analyse and model signatures of learning in large populations of neurons. This project is a collaboration between the experimental lab of Mathew Diamond and the theory lab of Sebastian Goldt at SISSA.
Our project is based on a new problem-solving task developed for rats. We will have large-scale NeuroPixel recordings from the animals as they figure out the task, and we want to look for signatures of learning in the recordings (that's the ML part) and ultimately come up with neural network models that account for our measurements (that's the theory part). The precise orientation of the project between data analysis and theory will also depend on the profile and interests of the candidate!
Sebastian is at Cosyne, feel free to come up to chat to him. The modelling approach could be based on the work presented in poster 67 on Saturday.
