Subject: Survey: Goals and Needs of Biomodeling, Icahn School of Medicine
We would like to invite you to participate in a survey of the goals,
methods, and challenges of biomodeling. The goal of the survey is to
solicit your input into the biomodeling community's efforts to advance
biomodeling. We plan to share the results of the survey through a review
article in early 2018.
Please use the link below to complete the survey by Friday September 22.
The survey should take five to ten minutes to complete.

Subject: Postdoc Position: NIH/NSF, U Penn/U Houston/CU Boulder
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join an NIH/NSF funded
interdisciplinary project that includes Joshua Gold (University of
Pennsylvania), Kre?o Josic (University of Houston), and Zack Kilpatrick
(University of Colorado, Boulder). Our aim is to understand how the brain
accumulates evidence in dynamic environments. The project is guided by the
overriding hypothesis that brain networks involved in decision-making
computations incorporate learned expectations of the environment to
implement adaptive decision-making. We seek a candidate who can work at the
interface of experimental, computational, and theoretical neuroscience. As
part of an interdisciplinary team, The candidate will develop models of
neural circuits that approximate normative evidence accumulation in dynamic
environments. The candidate will also help to validate these models, using
behavioral data from humans and neural recordings from primates performing
dynamic decision tasks.
For further information please contact Kre?imir Josic (josic@math.uh.edu)
or Zack Kilpatrick (zpkilpat@colorado.edu)

central role in interdisciplinary research on campus, which includes
engagement in Centers and Institutes such as the Global Change Center and
Fralin Life Sciences Institute, and nine out of Virginia Tech's 14
Interdisciplinary Graduate Education Programs. Several faculty are
associated with the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute, located
adjacent to the VTC School of Medicine in Roanoke, Virginia.
Interested candidates should submit a current CV, a letter of interest
(maximum 3 pages) that describes research interests, relevant experience
and leadership style, and a list of three professional references upon
applying through www.jobs.vt.edu posting number TR0170112 or via the link:
Review of applications will begin on October 31, 2017 and will continue
