    Job Description


    The Neural Dynamics and Neural Engineering Lab at Virginia Tech has an opening for a postdoctoral position in computational neuroscience.

    This position is for two years and is being funded by the Army Research Office (ARO). The research project will employ signal processing techniques and biophysically based computational models in conjunction with EEG experiments to examine the impact

    of sounds played during sleep on brain dynamics.


    Our lab investigates neural dynamics during active behavior and during off-line states, such as sleep, using a combination of computational modeling, signal processing techniques, and both invasive and non-invasive techniques for recording neural activity.

    The basic science knowledge gathered from these investigations is leveraged to understand how memories are instantiated in the brain, to gain insight into how learning occurs during brain-machine interface (BMI) tasks, and to develop the framework for stimulation and pharmacological therapies for diseases, especially those marked by abnormal neural dynamics during sleep (e.g., post-traumatic sleep disorder (PTSD) and Parkinson's disease).

    Required Qualifications


    • Candidates should have a Ph.
    D. in applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, neuroscience, psychology, or a related field. Ph.
    D.

    must be awarded no more than three years prior to the effective date of appointment with a minimum of two years of eligibility remaining.


    • Strong programming skills (e.g., in Matlab or Python)
    Preferred Qualifications


    • Experience collecting EEG data would be an asset.
