Senior Postdoctoral Associate

Required Qualifications: (as evidenced by an attached resume)

● Doctoral Degree (or foreign equivalent) in Physics, Computer Science, Computational Neuroscience, or a closely related field.

● Minimum three years of research experience in computational modeling of brain circuits.

● Demonstrated expertise in the Neuroblox computational neuroscience platform, including direct knowledge of its Julia-based modeling environment, software architecture, domain-specific modules, and underlying computational infrastructure.

● Prior hands-on experience contributing to the development or implementation of the Neuroblox modeling framework, including mechanistic modeling of neural circuits and/or pharmacological modulation of brain systems within the platform.

● Demonstrated track record in neurobiologically mechanistic modeling (i.e., models should incorporate known neurobiology and neurophysiology, rather than relying on black-box machine learning approaches).

● Demonstrated track record in multiscale modeling, including the building of neurobiological models with drug-relevant targets and clinically relevant outcomes.

● Track record (GitHub) demonstrating proficiency in the Julia programming language.

● Experience with CNS pharmacology and receptor-level pharmacodynamic modeling integrated within multiscale circuit frameworks.

● Prior contribution to peer-reviewed publications and/or open-source software releases in computational neuroscience.

● Familiarity with scientific software development best practices, including version control (Git), automated testing, and documentation for open-source research software.

Preferred Qualifications:

● Experience with neuroimaging data modalities (e.g., EEG, fMRI) and familiarity with how empirical neural data can inform or validate computational circuit models.

● Experience mentoring or supervising graduate or undergraduate students in a research laboratory setting.

● Demonstrated track record of using AI to automate/accelerate scientific workflows.

Brief Description of Duties:

The Senior Postdoctoral Associate will assist the Principal Investigator in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Please visit the LCNeuro Laboratory of Computational Neurodiagnostics (https://www.lcneuro.org/) to learn more about our research. The incumbent will independently and/or with colleagues conduct research and ensure that all work is appropriately conducted following the policies and procedures of Stony Brook University. The position supports ongoing research in computational neuroscience focused on mechanistic modeling of neural circuits and pharmacological modulation of brain systems within the Neuroblox platform. The incumbent will also assist the Principal Investigator with the supervision and management of the lab.

Duties:

● Carry out independent and/or collaborative research in the field of computational neuroscience. Design and develop research experiments to achieve research goals, with a primary focus on advancing the Neuroblox platform's multiscale circuit modeling capabilities, including its pharma-specific modules and Julia-based software infrastructure.

● Analyze and evaluate data, utilizing specialized computational techniques. Contribute to ongoing and planned externally funded and collaborative research activities related to the Neuroblox modeling platform.

● Dissemination of results: publications in scientific journals, documentation for software releases. Oral presentation during lab meetings. May attend conferences and seminars.

● Lab management, including oversight/supervision of Undergraduate and/or Graduate students, Research Technicians, or providing training in various research methods.

● Other Duties as assigned.
