Postdoctoral positions (~2020.2)
We are seeking a highly motivated post-doc researcher with a background in computational neuroscience and an interest in reinforcement learning.
We are conducting a research project, “Brain Mapping by Integrated Neurotechnologies for Disease Studies (Brain/MINDS; up to 2024/3/31; http://brainminds.jp/en/)” This project aims to reveal a neural basis of decision making and the other cognitive functions based on brain activity data (electrophysiology or Ca2+ imaging) from marmoset/rodent brains.
The candidate will work on this project under a collaboration with experiment teams of RIKEN Center for Brain Science (RIKEN CBS).
For this position, basic qualifications include PhD in relevant fields with a proven track record of peer-reviewed publications, as well as excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and/or Japanese.
You will participate in the project with our members from various backgrounds including computational neuroscience, systems biology, bioinformatics, mathematical engineering, and reinforcement learning.
Our laboratory is also collaborating with Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR), University of Tokyo, Okinawa institute of science and technology (OIST), RIKEN Center for Brain Science (RIKEN CBS), and other international laboratories.
