　　What You Will Do

　　Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is seeking an outstanding postdoctoral researcher to work both independently and in a team environment on numerous aspects of neuromorphic computing and the implementation of spiking neural algorithms. A primary goal is to identify and develop neural mechanisms to use within a general computational framework. Additionally, we are interested in implementing both machine learning and standard computational algorithms on neuromorphic integrated circuits and simulation environments to benefit both LANL's scientific and national-security missions.

　　The successful candidate will be expected to conduct research to identify areas of promise and to develop methodologies for exploiting neuromorphic computing technologies and spiking algorithms, develop theoretical and computational tools for neuromorphic computers, and communicate research results through reports, presentations, and peer-reviewed publications.

　　LANL has a history of ground-breaking achievements in neuromorphic computing. You will have the opportunity to work with internationally recognized experts in the field.

　　What You Need

　　Minimum Job Requirements:

　　Substantial research experience in one or more of the fields of neural computing and computational neuroscience.

　　Demonstrated research ability, as evidenced by publications, reports, presentations, awards, etc.

　　Excellent communication skills, as evidenced by publications and a cogent cover letter

　　Evidence of strong interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment

　　Desired Skills:

　　Programming experience with Java, C++, Python, MATLAB, or Julia and demonstrated software engineering skills

　　Experience with Brian 2, Nengo, N2S3, BrainScaleS 2, or similar simulation environments and/or neuromorphic hardware such as SpiNNaker, Intel Loihi, IBM TrueNorth

　　Experience in scientific computing and numerical methods, and graphical modeling

　　Experience with Verilog or VHDL

　　Education: PhD within the past five years or soon to be completed in Computer Science, Computational Neuroscience, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field from an accredited college or university.
