Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Center for Neural Science at NYU. We are looking for a postdoc to work on the theoretical and computational neuroscience, developing models and analyses of neural population activity and the structure of representations that support behavior. The successful candidate will be hosted by the Kiani Lab at CNS and work in collaboration with the Chung lab at Harvard (Center for Brain Science and Kempner Institute).

The position is well suited to candidates with a background in theoretical or computational neuroscience, machine learning, or physics who are excited to engage with rich primate datasets through close collaboration with experimentalists and theorists. This is a joint endeavor across the two labs, with regular group interactions. More broadly, the postdoc will be part of a vibrant community of researchers across NYU's Center for Neural Science, with close ties to the NeuroAI and computational neuroscience communities at Harvard and the Flatiron Institute.

In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $58,500 - $90,000. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.

This position is based in New York and the selected candidate will be expected to work onsite as of their effective start date.

PhD in neuroscience or related field.
