Description
The Department of Neuroscience and Center for Computational Brain Science at Brown University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the laboratory of Dr. Stephanie Jones. The Jones lab develops a neural modeling software to bring human EEG/MEG signals to the underlying cell and circuit level generation that can be interrogated in animal models called The Human Neocortical Neurosolver. They also develop analysis tools to study electrophysiological signals in no traditional ways. The hired postdoc will work on expanding and applying the multi-scale HNN modeling framework to study the mechanisms and meaning of slow brain oscillations in behavior, using a data constrained framework.

Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
Brown University is one of the leading research institutions in the US, with access to cutting-edge facilities and technologies. The Neuroscience community at Brown offers an international, collaborative, and multi-disciplinary research environment, and the Neuroscience department is committed to efforts towards diversity, equity, and inclusion in all teaching, mentoring, and research activities. As an EEO/AA employer, Brown University provides equal opportunity and prohibits discrimination, harassment and retaliation based upon a person's race, color, religion, sex, age, national or ethnic origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or any other characteristic protected under applicable law, and caste, which is protected by our University policies.
The Neuroscience department at Brown is committed to centering efforts towards diversity, equity and inclusion in all our teaching, mentoring and research. This is grounded in our knowledge that the best science requires an inclusive environment, and that long-standing biases exist in STEM that negatively impact members of our community and science as a whole. Thus, we strive to be a community in which a diverse set of thoughts, perspectives and experiences are valued. One where anybody, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, and ability feels that they are welcome here and belong here. We believe that everyone here should have a seat at the table and be given the opportunity to bring out their best in an environment where an individual's strengths and specific challenges are recognized, and where as a community we work towards elevating every individual while collectively lowering barriers that impede them. We are a community committed to educating ourselves, to learning about and from each other, and to openly discussing biases, barriers and inequities that some of us may face, while committing ourselves to recognizing and eliminating them. We are committed to bringing this effort of equity-mindedness to our research laboratories, our classrooms, our meetings and our social events. In instances where we fail to do so, we commit to accepting feedback, learning from our mistakes and working to improve. We are also committed to actively combating racism and racist practices, advocating for and bringing about institutional change, and serving as a role model for the rest of the university.
