Postdoc Positions in Computational Neuroscience.
Alex Pouget's laboratory. University of Geneva, Switzerland.

Postdoc positions are available in the laboratory of computational cognitive neuroscience of Alex Pouget at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, starting in September 2011. The successful applicants will be expected to conduct independent research involving computational studies of probabilistic inferences in neural circuits applied to domains such as decision making, multisensory integration and olfactory processing. The research will have to be conducted in collaboration with one of experimental laboratories currently associated with Pouget's laboratory. This includes the laboratories of  Zach Mainen , Matthieu Louis, Greg DeAngelis, Dora Angelaki and Daphne Bavelier.
 
Candidates should have finished or should be close to submitting a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer Science, Physics or other relevant fields, with an academic record of scientific excellence, independent research, and a strong interest in an interdisciplinary approach to neural computation.
 
A strong mathematical, statistical, and/or computational background and experience with computers and programming (Matlab, C++, etc.) is expected. Applicants with an experimental background who wish to learn computational approaches will also be considered. The appointment will be for a minimum of two years starting in September 2011 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Informal inquiries should be addressed by email to Alex Pouget (alex at bcs.rochester.edu). Candidates should send a CV in pdf format and ask at least three referees to send letters of recommendation preferably via email.

Interviews will be held with selected candidates as soon as possible.
