Hourly Research Analyst - Rotstein Lab

Title :

Hourly Research Analyst - Rotstein Lab

Department : Biological Sciences

Reports To :

Professor Biological Sciences

Position Type : Staff

Position Summary :

The primary interest of Dr. Rotstein's group is the understanding of the mechanisms of generation of neuronal rhythmic oscillations in various areas of the brain (e.g., hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, prefrontal cortex, striatum, olfactory bulb) and how this results from the cooperative activity of the dynamic and biophysical properties of the participating neurons, the synaptic connectivity and the network topology. A primary focus of this research is the effects of single cell and network resonances (emergent properties resulting from the interaction between neurons / networks and oscillatory inputs) on the generation of network oscillations. They use and develop mathematical models, dynamical systems tools and numerical simulations.

Essential Functions :

• Develop, implement and analyze bayesian / simulation-based inference algorithms and neural networks algorithms to estimate parameters in mixed-mode bursting-spiking neuronal patterns and monosynaptic connectivity in neuronal networks.

Prerequisite Qualifications :
