Two full-time post-doctoral positions are available within the new
multidisciplinary Sackler Centre for Consciousness Science (SCCS) at
Sussex University, starting early 2010 and lasting for three years.
The deadlines are Dec 10 (1st position, extended from Nov 30) and Dec
11 (2nd position). Successful candidates will work on developing and
testing cognitive/computational neuroscience accounts of neural
mechanisms underlying consciousness, in health and in disease. One
position will focus on basic science, another will have a more
clinical focus. Both positions will involve a mix of cognitive
neuroscience, computational modelling, and functional brain imaging.
Each post comes with a broad remit with opportunities to follow your
own research interests within the area of cognitive/computational
neuroscience relevant to consciousness. Successful candidates will
work with Dr. Anil Seth and Prof. Hugo Critchley (SCCS directors) and
other researchers in the group. For more information, please see http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AAF848/

10) NeuroML Postdoctoral Position, Arizona State University

De : Sharon Crook Sharon.Crook [ à ] asu.edu

Postdoctoral Position in Computational Neuroscience
and Neuroinformatics: NeuroML Standards and Tools for
Multiscale Model Specification and Exchange

Computational models based on detailed neuroanatomical
and electrophysiological data have been used for many
years as an aid for understanding of the function of
the nervous system. NeuroML is an international,
collaborative initiative to develop standards for
describing models of neural systems. The NeuroML model
specifications facilitate the exchange of complex
neural models, allow for greater transparency and
accessibility of models, enhance interoperability
between simulators and other tools, and support the
development of new software and databases. NeuroML
is a free and open community effort developed with
input from many contributors.

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute
to further development of NeuroML. The position is
somewhat flexible and can include NeuroML schema design
and implementation, tool development and testing, website
development and maintenance, and model database design
and implementation. The position also provides
opportunities for involvement in computational modeling
studies.

The postdoc will be located in the computational
laboratory of Dr. Sharon Crook (http://math.asu.edu/~crook)
at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona
(http://www.asu.edu). Prior extensive programming
experience is required, and experience with XML, website
and database development, and computational neuroscience
research would be beneficial. The candidate also must be
able to demonstrate excellent communication skills and
the ability to work as part of a team. Some international
travel is required.

Locally, the postdoctoral researcher will interact with
faculty, students and other postdoctoral researchers in the
Center for Adaptive Neural Systems (http://ans.asu.edu) at
ASU. ASU has vibrant, interdisciplinary research communities
in neuroscience, biomedical informatics, and high-performance
computing.

Candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a short summary
of research experience and interests, and the contact
information (name, address, phone number and email) for
three references to: Dr. Sharon Crook at sharon.crook [ à ] asu.edu.
