The Neural Dynamics and Computation group of Dr. Chengcheng Huang at the University of Pittsburgh has a research assistant position available. The Huang group studies how task and stimulus contexts change neuronal responses and the implications on neural coding. The successful candidate will carry out a research project under the guidance of the PI. The project aims to understand the neural computation in context-dependent decision-making tasks using recurrent neural network models. The candidate will learn to train neural network models, conduct population data analysis, and have the opportunity to work with our collaborators at the University of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Mellon University.
