We conduct much research in the area of <span>brain biomechanics</span> and more recently are working to move into <span>multiphysics and multiscale areas of brain science</span>. This project, <span>funded by the NIH Brain Initiative</span>, focuses on <span>growth and bioelectric simulations of neuronal cell networks</span>. For the right individual, with a motivation to expand their knowledge into totally new areas and apply their skills associated with computational mechanics this could be a rewarding project. Here are more details.</p>
<p><span><strong>Immediate Opening.</strong></span> Conduct research in computational neuroscience. Program, develop, and analyze computer models of neurons in engineered neural networks. Research project is funded by NIH. Position is for 1 year with a possible 1 year extension. </p>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong></p>
<p>To apply, please e-mail resume, a representative publication(s), and the names and addresses of two references to the above contact. Please specifically reference this posting. Review of applications will begin immediately until the position is filled. </p>
