Research Fellow, Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine

Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine invites applications for:

Postdoctoral Fellow in the Laboratory of Nanyang Assistant Professor Hiroshi MAKINO

We are recruiting highly motivated postdoctoral fellows with a strong background in neuroscience or artificial intelligence. Our current study focuses on understanding the function and organisation of cortical circuits in the mammalian brain underlying neural intelligence. We integrate various cutting-edge technologies, including a 2-photon random access mesoscope to record >10,000 neurons, electrophysiology, optogenetics, non-invasive deep brain stimulation and virus-mediated circuit mapping to investigate the link between neural circuits and behaviour. We are especially interested in applying concepts from AI research to neuroscience. The successful candidate will have unique expertise in cutting-edge optical technologies such as a 2-photon random access mesoscope using awake behaving mice.

Our research laboratory (http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/hmakino) is based at Clinical Sciences Building at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine in Novena, a central region of Singapore. The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine is a newly established joint medical school between Nanyang Technological University and Imperial College London (http://www.lkcmedicine.ntu.edu.sg/Pages/default.aspx).

To apply for this position, please send a cover letter describing your career goal, CV and names of 3 references. Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
