Computational Post Doc- Klindt Lab

A postdoctoral position in computational neuroscience / machine learning is available in Dr. David Klindt's research group at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), NY.

We are looking for outstanding candidates with prior experience in machine learning and, ideally, computational neuroscience. The position involves both specific projects and general research leveraging methods from machine learning, computer vision, and computational neuroscience to better understand complex systems such as neural networks, brain function, and molecular shapes. Candidates are expected to have the skills and expertise to hit the ground running in research. Those seeking to transition into AI research are encouraged to reach out only if they have secured independent funding sources. We are deeply committed to advancing science and understanding, emphasizing that true progress in AI and neural systems comes from uncovering fundamental principles-not merely from achieving state-of-the-art engineering benchmarks.

For more information, contact klindt@cshl.edu.

* PhD in Computational Neuroscience, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Neuroscience, or a related quantitative discipline.

* Proven programming skills and experience with Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.

* At least one publication in top-tier machine learning or AI conferences/journals (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CVPR, AAAI, or similar).

* Strong interest or prior experience in collaborating with experimentalists.
