Subject: Postdoc Positions: Statistical Neuroscience, BCM
POSITION: We seek several highly motivated postdoctoral research fellows
for a collaborative team project building statistical tools for
interpreting large scale neural recordings. The fellows will develop new
methods and applications of probabilistic graphical models to infer
statistical interactions amongst neurons and with their environment. The
tools will be validated in neural network simulations, tested in
physiological recordings, and made widely available to the neuroscience
community for understanding data from next-generation experiments.
TEAM: Fellows will join principal investigators and theorists Kresimir
Josic (University of Houston), Genevera Allen (Rice), Xaq Pitkow
(BCM/Rice), Ankit Patel (BCM/Rice), and Robert Rosenbaum (Notre Dame).
The team will interact closely with experimentalists including
co-Investigator Andreas Tolias (BCM) and several other labs interested in
applying novel methods we develop. Fellows will also be members of the new
Center for Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence housed at the Baylor
College of Medicine and supported in part by the NSF NeuroNex program. The
Center brings together interdisciplinary researchers from across Houston,
including members from Baylor College of Medicine, Rice University,
University of Houston, and University of Texas Health Sciences. Researchers
at the Center contribute diverse expertise in fields including neuroscience,
machine learning, statistics, physics, computer science, electrical
engineering, and applied mathematics.
QUALIFICATIONS: Candidates must have outstanding mathematical skills, a PhD
in a relevant quantitative discipline, and expertise in probabilistic
graphical models or statistical machine learning.
APPLYING: Applicants should email a letter of research interests and CV to
Camila Lopez (Camila.Lopez@bcm.edu), along with contact information for
three references.

Subject: Postdoc Position: Math Biology, U of Florida
The Department of Mathematics at the University of Florida invites
applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor (non tenure-track) in the
area of mathematical biology, with a particular interest in virus dynamics,
theoretical immunology and epidemiology, beginning on January 1, 2018. The
teaching assignment is 3 courses per year, 2 courses in the fall semester
and 1 course in the spring semester, and participation in the research
activities of the department is expected. Some additional support for travel
is possible. A Ph.D. in the mathematical sciences or the equivalent is
required. Candidates with strong promise in research and teaching are
encouraged to apply.
The salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and
experience, and includes a full benefits package. Appointment will be for
one-year with the possibility of a one-year renewal contingent on
satisfactory performance and funding.
For full consideration, applications must be submitted online at
http://explore.jobs.ufl.edu/cw/en-us/listing/504697 and must include:
(1) a cover letter, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) a research statement,
(4) a teaching statement and (5) a list of three references. The Search
Committee will begin reviewing applications on October 1, 2017 and continue
accepting applications until the position is filled. All candidates for
employment are subject to a pre-employment screening which includes a
review of criminal records, reference checks, verification of education,
and verification of eligibility for employment in the United States.
The final candidate will be required to provide an official transcript to
the hiring department upon hire. A transcript will not be considered
"official" if a designation of "Issued to Student" is visible. Degrees
earned from an education institution outside of the United States are
required to be evaluated by a professional credentialing service provider
approved by National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES),
which can be found at http://www.naces.org/
