The neural dynamics and computation group of Dr. Chengcheng Huang at the University of Pittsburgh has a research assistant position available. The Huang group studies how task and stimulus contexts change neuronal responses and the implications on neural coding. The successful candidate will carry out a research project under the guidance of the PI. The candidate will learn to simulate and analyze neuronal network activity, conduct population analysis of neuronal data and/or train recurrent neural networks for decision making tasks. The candidate will have the opportunity to work with our experimental collaborators at the University of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Mellon University.
Candidates should have a bachelor’s degree in a quantitative discipline and strong programming skills. The application needs to be submitted at the University of Pittsburgh electronically through our
TalentCenter portal.
Application reviews will start immediately and continue until the position is filled.
