The postdoc will lead independent experimental work focused on electrophysiological recordings (Neuropixels) in awake mice. Analysis of the generated data is a central duty using large population recording techniques and advance computing capabilities.
We are looking for a hands-on experimentalist with extensive experience of high-density electrophysiological recordings (Neuropixels) in mice. Equally important is expertise in analysis of neuronal representations and their transformations across brain regions and brain states.

Meriting:
Postdoctoral scholarships may be established for foreign researchers who pursue their merit in Sweden. A foreign researcher is a person living in another country who comes to Sweden with the intention of only staying in Sweden for all or part of their postdoctoral education at KI. Persons who are resident in Sweden and/or have carried out all or part of their academic education at KI or some other educational institution in Sweden cannot be considered for scholarships. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent. A scholarship for carrying out postdoctoral research can be granted for a maximum of two years within a four-year period following the receipt of a doctoral degree or equivalent. To be eligible for a postdoctoral scholarship, the person must have obtained a doctorate, or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) start date of the post-doctoral education.
