We have two openings for postdoctoral associates at New York University as part of a

BRAIN Initiative U19 project focused on the neural mechanisms of causal inference.

Successful candidates will collaborate broadly with team members across institutions

such as the University of Rochester (Drs. Greg DeAngelis and Ralf Haefner), Harvard

Medical School (Dr. Jan Drugowitsch), New York University (Dr. Dora Angelaki), Baylor

College of Medicine / Rice University (Dr. Xaq Pitkow), and the University of

Washington (Dr. Greg Horwitz).

The project is highly collaborative and interactive, involving high-density

electrophysiological recordings indifferent animal subjects, optogenetic manipulations,

development of novel dynamical theoretical frameworks, application of high-dimensional

neural analyses, and establishment of a data analysis and storage platform across

laboratories.

In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $58,500 to $70,000. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.

Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. background in neuroscience, experimental

psychology, biomedical engineering, or a related field. Previous research experience in

systems neuroscience is highly beneficial.

Candidates should submit their CV, a statement of research interests, and contact

information for three references.
