Title: Postdoctoral Position at the SiNAPSE Institute, Singapore

Inquiries and applications are invited from highly productive, creative 
and ambitious young scientists for a postdoctoral fellowship in the 
recently launched the SiNAPSE Institute (www.sinapseinstitute.com) – a 
multidisplinary research Institute devoted to research on 
neurotechnologies, cognitive sciences, basic cellular/molecular 
neuroengineering, and translational and clinically motivated research at 
the National University of Singapore under the direction of Prof. Nitish 
Thakor (www.jhu.edu/nthakor).


The main objectives of the research project are (but not limited to):

1.   Mathematical modeling of brain connectome,

2.   Mathematical modeling of neurological diseases, including spinal 
cord and brain injury, stroke and epilepsy

3.   Principled statistical models for merging different brain imaging 
modalities (EEG/MEG/fMRI/DTI/single-unit recordings/...),

For this project, the postdoctoral fellow is expected to interact with 
PIs at the SiNAPSE Institute (Profs Nitish Thakor, Angelo All, 
Anastasios Bezerianos, and Yen Shih-Cheng), as well as collaborators at 
Nanyang Technological University (Prof. Justin Dauwels and others).

Candidates with a PhD degree in Mathematics, Physics, Electrical and 
Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Neurosciences or 
Neuroengineering with outstanding skills and credentials are invited to 
apply for appropriate positions in the Institute.

SiNAPSE will focus on breakthrough research and technologies, including 
advanced microscale or implantable neurotechnologies, 
neurorehabilitation, behavioral modulation through optogenetics, 
cognitive sciences, novel brain machine interface, and biologically 
inspired neuromorphic systems and robotics. The Institute will partner 
with major Universities in Asia, Europe and USA (including Johns Hopkins 
University, UCSD, MIT, and Berkeley in the USA, EPFL and Max Plank 
Institute in Europe, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Indian Institute 
of Technology in Asia) through collaborative and exchange programs. In 
Singapore, the Institute will partner and be funded by the major 
agencies: A*STAR, Defense Research and Technology Office (DRTech), the 
National University of Singapore, and the Nanyang Technological 
University.
The researchers will have access to impressive financial and physical 
resources, including noninvasive human and small animal experimental 
facilities, laboratory instrumentation, computing and imaging resources, 
and additional project-specific discretionary funding. SINAPSE will 
provide excellent work conditions (an environment about 20 collaborative 
PIs and more than 100 researchers in steady state). The salaries will be 
internationally competitive and commensurate with experience, and health 
insurance coverage as well as travel to international conferences will 
be included.

Interested researchers and fellows should contact as soon as possible 
Prof. Nitish Thakor (sinapsedirector at gmail.com) and Justin Dauwels 
(jdauwels at ntu.edu.sg) sending a CV with two external references and a 
letter of accomplishments, motivation and career goals.
