The Nandy lab and the Jadi lab in the Departments of Neuroscience & Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine have an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Associate, to investigate the neural mechanisms of perception and attention.
Applicants with the following skills are particularly encouraged to apply: (a) research background in cognitive, systems, or computational neuroscience, (b) expertise in electrophysiology in behaving animals, and/or (c) highly quantitative data analytic skills (possibly including computational modeling). The candidate will carry out high-density multiareal electrophysiological recordings while animals are engaged in attention-demanding visual tasks. The individual will be required to train animals, generate electrophysiological data, and perform advanced statistical data analyses and modeling in a highly collaborative research environment.
This is a multi-year fully funded position. The initial appointment will be for a period of 1 year, with scope for multi-year renewal subject to satisfactory progress. Candidates will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
Yale provides an outstanding environment for conducting successful and rigorous postdoctoral training toward obtaining an independent research position. The neuroscience community at Yale is highly active and involves interdisciplinary collaborations across multiple academic units including the Departments of Neuroscience, Psychiatry, Psychology, Computer Science, Statistics & Data Science, Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology, and more. The Wu Tsai Institute, Kavli Institute for Neuroscience, and the Swartz Center for Theoretical Neurobiology provide excellent opportunities for training and cross-disciplinary dialog.
Yale and our labs are highly committed to promoting diversity among its students, faculty, and staff. Women, persons with disabilities, protected veterans, and individuals from underrepresented minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
Interested candidates should e-mail their applications to [email protected]. The application should include (1) a CV; (2) a one-page description of research interests; (3) contact information for 3 referees.
