Six full-time positions in visual neuroscience at all levels are available immediately at Brain Corporation, San Diego, CA, to develop biologically detailed spiking models of the mammalian visual system.
We are seeking both experimentalists and theoreticians experienced in visual neuroscience. The position will entail researching the spike-timing dynamics of visual processing, devising appropriate models for the functional streams of the visual system, and testing hypotheses using large-scale simulations.
REQUIREMENTS: (1) For theoreticians: a published record of research on spiking networks, spike-timing dynamics, or STDP; for experimentalists: a published record of research on the electrophysiology of the visual system (in vivo recordings of unit activity), (2) knowledge of the visual system beyond standard textbooks, and (3) excellent programming skills in MATLAB, PYTHON, or C/C++ (although we are not doing much programming, the candidate should be efficient with an algorithmic way of thinking). Preference will be given to those who have conducted research on spike-timing dynamics in visual processing.
The employee compensation package includes industry-level salaries, annual performance-based bonuses, matching 401k contributions, and a stock option grant. Additionally, employees have access to facilities and amenities of Brain Corporation partner - Qualcomm Inc. - a leader in semiconductor technology.
