Job Title

The Williams lab at New York University is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to join our team in advancing the quantitative understanding of neural computation and population dynamics. Our lab develops and applies statistical and mathematical frameworks to study how neural systems represent information, perform computations, and adapt through learning. Responsibilities Design and conduct computational and statistical analyses of large-scale neural datasets (e.g., electrophysiology, calcium imaging, or fMRI). Develop novel statistical or machine learning models to characterize neural population activity and its geometry or dynamics. Collaborate closely with experimental neuroscientists and theorists within NYU and external partners. Prepare manuscripts for publication and contribute to grant proposals. Mentor graduate and undergraduate trainees in quantitative methods. In compliance with NYCu2019s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $89,000 - $91,000.
