> Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Computational Brain Modeling at IBM Research
>
> IBM is seeking a post-doctoral researcher to participate in a joint
> research collaboration between the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center and
> the Stockholm Brain Institute (SBI) in Sweden. This collaboration will
> involve modeling multiple brain regions and their interactions to
> provide insights into the emotional system and its effects on behavior
> and learning. The post-doctoral researcher will analyze, propose, and
> develop neural systems models at various levels of abstraction. The
> researcher will also test these models and validate them against
> experimental data acquired by our research collaborators and data in
> the literature. The researcher will interface with modelers,
> experimentalists, and computer scientists. Further, the researcher
> will develop software for models and neural system simulation
> environments targeted for high performance computing platforms,
> especially the Blue Gene/L supercomputer. Finally, the researcher will
> publish research results. Time will be spent in both Yorktown Heights,
> NY (IBM), and Stockholm, Sweden (SBI).
>
> Required qualifications and skills
> * PhD in neuroscience, engineering, computer science, physics or
> related discipline
> * Strong background in computational neuroscience and neural system
> modeling, including experience with a broad range of neural modeling
> techniques such as compartmental modeling, integrate-and-fire neurons,
> Wilson-Cowan modeling, non-linear system dynamics, etc.
> * Strong mathematical and statistical analysis skills.
> * Strong computer science skills, including experience with C/C++
> programming, Linux, distributed and parallel processing, MPI, and
> MatLab.*
> * Strong communication skills. The ideal candidate will be fluent in
> both Swedish and English.
>
> To be considered for the position, the applicant must apply through
> the web posting. Here are the directions to the posting:
