Posting Summary

Functional Position Title POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER (COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE)

Position Number 00036012 Appointment Type Regular Location-City New Orleans School/Division LSUNO BASIC HEALTH SCIENCES Department LSUNO Anatomy Position Summary

In close collaboration with our experimental collaborators, the Postdoctoral Researcher will design, organize and conduct highly specialized computer simulations using established scientific protocols and procedures and in some cases design new protocols; summarize findings and, publish results in research journals; provide training, supervision and guidance to junior technicians, students and researchers. The focus of this lab is computational neuroscience, in particular to study oscillations and synchrony in single neuron models involving cortical and basal ganglia networks. The primary duties will involve linear and non-linear analyses, writing code, calibrating single neuron models, and generating predictions that lead to additional experiments.

Additional Position Information

A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Carmen Canavier's lab at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans to model theta-nested gamma oscillations in the hippocampal formation in close collaboration with John White's lab at Boston University. We use both theoretical and computational approaches in a synergistic loop with our collaborators' experiments. We use both the NEURON and BRIAN simulation packages with easy access to our own Linux servers and the University's computational cluster.
