*Interdisciplinary postdoc position on computational modeling of 
adaptive decision-making, Pittsburgh, PA, USA*

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh, and both 
the Department of Psychology and Carnegie Mellon Neuroscience Institute 
are seeking applications for a joint Postdoctoral Researcher position at 
Carnegie Mellon University.This NIH-funded position will focus on the 
computational neuroscience of exploration, linking computational models 
to both human behavioral and rodent optogenetic/electrophysiology data.

The successful candidate will work with Professors Jonathan Rubin (Pitt) 
and Timothy Verstynen (CMU), in collaboration with Professors Eric Yttri 
(Department of Biological Sciences, CMU) and Cati Vich (Department of 
Applied Mathematics, Universitat de les Illes Balears, Mallorca, Spain). 
The project specifically focuses on how dynamics of cortico-basal 
ganglia-thalamic pathways map to cognitive models of adaptive 
decision-making. The position is funded for several years, with an 
initial one-year appointment and an expectation of extension to three 
years, given that performance is satisfactory.  Applications will be 
reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

Applicants with a PhD in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Computer 
Science, Computational Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuroscience or a related 
discipline, and ideally with experience in computing, in dynamical 
systems, and in computational neuroscience, should apply at:

https://cmu.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=2015566

Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh are both 
Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employers and value equality of 
opportunity, human dignity and diversity. Members of all groups 
under-represented in academia are especially encouraged to apply.
