Postdoc Fellow, Systems Neuroscience & Neural Computation

Vanderbilt; Nashville (TN); On-site; USD 55,000 - 70,000; Full time

Job summary

Vanderbilt University invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow in systems neuroscience, focusing on next-generation high-density neurophysiology and predictive processing in non-human primates.

The project scales large-scale electrophysiology across cortex and subcortex, enabling circuit-level insights with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. A PhD in neuroscience or related field is required; experience with electrophysiology and Python/MATLAB is desirable.

Qualifications

• PhD in neuroscience, computational neuroscience, neuroengineering, cognitive neuroscience, or related field.
• Experience with electrophysiology, neural data analysis, computational modeling, or signal processing is desirable.
• Experience with non-human primates is advantageous but not required.

Responsibilities

• Lead experiments using next-gen high-density electrophysiology to study predictive processing.
• Analyze neural data and develop computational models of circuit mechanisms.
• Collaborate across Vanderbilt and external partners to advance neurotechnology.
