Dear colleague,

Would you be so kind as to forward the postdoc ad pasted below to potential candidates?

Many thanks, and best regards,

Rava (Apologies for multiple postings.)

*********

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION available in the group of RAVA AZEREDO DA SILVEIRA at the ECOLE NORMALE SUPERIEURE, Paris

This position will be devoted, in part, to the analysis and modeling of exciting retina data sets from the labs of Botond Roska (FMI) and Andreas Hierlemann (ETH). Experience with data analysis and proficiency with numerical methods and programming, in addition to familiarity with neuroscience topics and mathematical and statistical methods, are desirable. In addition, research may be pursued on problems of single-cell and network dynamics, neural coding, or cognitive and behavioral modeling (inference, sensory integration, decision making, etc), with more or less connection with data depending upon the specific problem. Thus, a spirit of intellectual adventure and eagerness is at least as desirable.

The ENS, together with a number of neighboring institutions (College de France, Institut Curie, ESPCI, Universités Paris 5, 6, and 7, and Institut Pasteur), offers a rich scientific and intellectual environment, with a strong representation in computational neuroscience and related fields. Furthermore, as far as cities go, Paris is not bad.

The postdoctoral salary will be supplemented by travel and equipment funds.

To apply, please send a letter of motivation and statement of research, a curriculum vitae, a list of publication, and arrange for three letters of recommendations to be sent, to rava@ens.fr. Reviewing of the applications with start on 25 November 2013.
