Postdoctoral Positions:

We are currently seeking talented postdoctoral researchers across a range of projects. These include:

• Brain-wide mechanism of accumulation of evidence and decision-making: BRAINCoGS
  In collaboration with the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, this multi-investigator project seeks to understand the neural circuit dynamics underlying decision-making by using an “accumulation-of-evidence” tasks in rodents
• Dynamics, plasticity, and metaplasticity of cerebellar circuits: tuning of neural integrators and more general behaviors.
  In collaboration with the Aksay lab at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and Raymond lab at Stanford University.
• Inferring circuit function from large-scale neural recordings and connectomics.
• Synaptic metaplasticity. How are plasticity rules tuned to their observed values?
• Birdsong striato-cortical learning. In collaboration with Michale Fee at MIT.
• Suggest your own interest!

Please email us at heum@ucdavis.edu and include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a brief statement of research interests, and contact information for three references.

A Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Physics, Math, Statistics, Computer Science or related field is required.
