About the role

About the Role: Our client is seeking a talented and motivated Remote Postdoctoral Fellow to join their innovative team, specializing in Computational Neuroscience. This role offers an exceptional opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research from anywhere, focusing on developing computational models and analyzing neural data to understand brain function. You will collaborate closely with a globally dispersed team of neuroscientists, data scientists, and engineers, contributing to significant advancements in the field. The ideal candidate possesses a strong quantitative background, expertise in neuroscience or a related field, and a proven ability to work independently and effectively in a remote setting. This position is perfect for an ambitious researcher looking to make a substantial impact while enjoying the flexibility of remote work.
Key Responsibilities: Develop and implement computational models of neural systems and cognitive processes. Analyze large-scale neuroscience datasets, including fMRI, EEG, and electrophysiology data. Design and conduct computational experiments to test hypotheses about brain function. Collaborate with experimental neuroscientists to integrate computational findings with empirical data. Present research findings at virtual conferences and publish in leading peer-reviewed journals. Contribute to the development of open-source software tools for neuroscience research.
Requirements: Ph. D. in Computational Neuroscience, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field. Strong background in computational modeling, statistical analysis, and programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB). Experience with analyzing neuroscience data (e.g., fMRI, EEG, single-unit recordings). Excellent understanding of neural mechanisms and cognitive principles. Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a remote, collaborative team. Strong written and verbal communication skills for remote interaction and publication.
Benefits: Competitive postdoctoral salary and benefits. Flexible remote work arrangement with comprehensive support for home office setup. Opportunities for virtual professional development and advanced training. Exposure to pioneering research in computational neuroscience with global impact. Work within a highly collaborative and intellectually stimulating virtual research environment. Access to state-of-the-art computational resources and collaborative platforms.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
