Postdoctoral opening in computational neuroscience/mathematical biology

The Department of Mathematical Sciences and the Center for Mathematical Biosciences at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the area of mathematical biology and computational neuroscience.

The position is with a collaborative group of scholars from the Department of Mathematical Sciences at IUPUI and the Department of Neurosurgery of the Indiana University School of Medicine. The current research project is aimed at understanding the properties, origin and function of basal ganglia rhythmic activity, oscillations and synchronization at health and in Parkinson's disease. The postdoctoral fellow will perform data analysis and dynamical systems modeling and will have the opportunity to contribute to other aspects of the project. The position offers excellent interdisciplinary training possibilities in mathematical biology and computational neuroscience.

Qualifications: Applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. in mathematics, physics, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, computer science or other related field. Applicants should have strong quantitative skills in data analysis and modeling and a strong interest in neuroscience applications. Experience in applied dynamical systems/nonlinear time-series analysis/neuroscience is a plus.

How to apply: Send your CV with a list of publications, research statement, and arrange two-three recommendation letters to be sent to Dr. Leonid Rubchinsky via e-mail: leo at math dot iupui dot edu.
Address all your inquiries to the same e-mail. Alternatively send your application by regular mail to:
