NIH-Funded Postdoctoral Position in Visual\/Computational Neuroscience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are excited to invite a self-driven and enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to our team at the Bionic Vision Lab, University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), led by Assistant Professor Michael Beyeler. Our project, at the exciting crossroads of visual and computational neuroscience, is part of the NIH BRAIN Initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project seeks to elucidate how the mouse brain processes visual information during active exploration to support visual navigation. Our recent NeurIPS paper<\/a> highlighted how a multimodal recurrent net can integrate gaze-contingent visual input with behavioral and temporal dynamics to explain V1 activity in freely moving mice. We are now seeking to extend this work to higher-order visual areas (HVAs) in collaboration with the labs of Spencer Smith (UCSB), Michael Goard (UCSB), and Cris Niell (University of Oregon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A welcoming, inclusive, and collaborative environment that combines expertise in neuroscience, computer science, and cognitive sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A fully funded, unionized position, offering a competitive salary and excellent benefits, for a minimum 2-year commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 An opportunity to work with diverse experts and engage with unique neural activity data sets, collected using state-of-the-art techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are looking for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A passionate individual with a solid foundation in visual and computational neuroscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A PhD in (computational) neuroscience, computer science, cognitive sciences, statistics, or a related field<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Strong communication and teamwork skills, with proficiency in programming and statistical analysis<\/p>\n\n\n\n
