ION Fellows will play a central role in our intellectual community and will be encouraged to pursue collaborative projects that span the interests of multiple labs and faculty mentors. Our Institute has a strong culture of theory/experiment collaboration, which has been powered by the interdisciplinary approach of our trainees. The faculty will provide extensive training in both scientific aspects and career development with the goal of charting a successful path to independence for the ION Fellow.
The Institute of Neuroscience
Our Institute features a wide range of expertise including sensory processing (visual, auditory, and olfactory), motor control, naturalistic behavior, neuronal development, neural engineering, and brain-computer interfaces. Our newly established NeuroAI Center combines data science and computational approaches for modeling large neural and behavioral datasets and developing the new generation of brain-inspired Artificial Intelligence. While our main experimental labs participating in the program use mice as a model system, the ION Fellow will also have opportunities to work with laboratories working with humans, Zebra fish, fruit fly, and c. elegans. We expect ION Fellows to establish a mentoring team including multiple faculty mentors. The Fellow can also choose to be a member of the NSF-funded Accelnet consortium "International network for brain-inspired computation," fostering collaborations between a large network of computational neuroscience/AI labs.
Candidate Qualifications
Minimum qualifications for this position include a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Physics, Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Psychology, Human Neurophysiology, Statistics or a related discipline; and a track record of productive research, including publications. A competitive salary and benefits arrangement will be provided including travel funds.
