Subject: [AUDITORY] Postdoctoral Fellowships in Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania From: Maria Geffen <mariageffen@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2017 10:46:01 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail=_9B319AFC-729A-4DDA-ABF1-EC5EA64E8FAB Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Postdoctoral Fellowships in Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience = at the University of Pennsylvania The Computational Neuroscience Initiative (CNI) of the University of = Pennsylvania seeks exceptional candidates for a CNI Postdoctoral = Fellowship. Candidates with strong quantitative skills from a variety of = fields including neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, = biophysics, physics, mathematics, systems biology, computer science and = engineering will be considered. The selected Fellows will join an = inter-disciplinary research environment in historic Philadelphia. CNI = Fellows will be encouraged to foster collaborative research between = multiple labs, organize a weekly seminar/chalk talk series for the CNI = community, and serve as mentors to students. The Fellowship will = provide salary and travel support for the fellow over a 3 year term. The CNI supports interdisciplinary and collaborative research at the = frontier of knowledge about the brain, behavior, and the mind (see = http://cni.upenn.edu/ <http://cni.upenn.edu/>). We focus on = systems-level approaches that integrate theory and computation with = experiment. Our members include faculty, post-docs, and students from = multiple programs and departments including neurobiology, cognitive = science, psychology, physics, mathematics, systems biology, electrical = engineering, bioengineering, and computer science. Our research and = training spans the three major elements of the field of Computational = Neuroscience: 1) Theory =E2=80=93 understanding the brain as an = information-processing machine; 2) Experiments =E2=80=93 providing quantitative methods to aid = in the design, implementation, analysis, and interpretation of empirical = studies that probe all levels of brain function, from molecules to = behavior; and 3) Applications =E2=80=93 including robotics, brain-machine = interfaces, and new clinical tools. Applications should be submitted by email to compneuro@xxxxxxxx = <mailto:compneuro@xxxxxxxx>, and should consist of a CV and a cover = letter stating the candidate's research experience, reasons for applying = to this Fellowship, and research interests. Please arrange for up to = three letters of recommendation to be sent to the same email address as = well, with the candidate=E2=80=99s name in the subject line. Review of = applications will start on March 15, 2017. The University of Pennsylvania values diversity and seeks talented = individuals from diverse backgrounds (http://jobs.hr.upenn.edu = <http://jobs.hr.upenn.edu/>). _________________________________ Maria Neimark Geffen, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Department of Neuroscience Perelman School of Medicine University of Pennsylvania 5 Ravdin 3400 Spruce St. Philadelphia PA 19104 Tel.: 215.898.0782 =20 Fax: 215.898.9994 mgeffen@xxxxxxxx http://www.med.upenn.edu/hearing --Apple-Mail=_9B319AFC-729A-4DDA-ABF1-EC5EA64E8FAB Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <html><head><meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html = charset=3Dutf-8"></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; = -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" = class=3D""><span style=3D"font-family: ArialMT;" class=3D"">Postdoctoral = Fellowships in Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience at the = University of Pennsylvania</span><br style=3D"font-family: ArialMT;" = class=3D""><br style=3D"font-family: ArialMT;" class=3D""><span = style=3D"font-family: ArialMT;" class=3D"">The Computational = Neuroscience Initiative (CNI) of the University of Pennsylvania seeks = exceptional candidates for a CNI Postdoctoral Fellowship.
