Post-Doctoral position is available immediately at the laboratory of Prof. Anton Sirota at the Ludwig-Maximilians University München (Germany) for the research project that is part of international collaborative research consortium BrainCom (http://www.braincom-project.eu). The goal of the project is to identify decoding capacity of the network dynamics across cortical circuits derived from the multichannel high-density surface and depth cortical field potential recordings for applications to neuroprosthetics. As a corollary, we aim to develop, for the first time, experimentally-derived circuit-level forward model for the depth and surface cortical field potentials. The project will combine innovative multichannel electrophysiology with optogenetic circuit-specific manipulation and quantitative behavior analysis in rodents, as well as novel analytical approaches. Project will be integrated into diverse and innovative research program of the Sirota lab (http://cogneuro.bio.lmu.de). Our lab is integrated into Bernstein Centre for Computational Neuroscience Munich (http://www.bccn-munich.de), Munich Cluster for Systems Neurology (http://www.synergy-munich.de) and the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (http://www.gsn.uni-muenchen.de)., Applications should include a full CV, a brief statement of research experience and career goals, and names of at least 2 referees. Please, send your application electronically as a single PDF file to Prof Anton Sirota at sirota@bio.lmu.de.
