Allen Institute
Scientist I - Bio-realistic Modeling
Allen Institute, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Scientist I – D3: Bio-realistic ModelingThe
mission
of the
Allen Institute
is to unlock the complexities of bioscience and advance our knowledge to improve human health. Using an open science, multi-scale, team-oriented approach, the
Allen Institute
focuses on accelerating foundational research, developing standards and models, and cultivating new ideas to make a broad, transformational impact on science.The
Data-Driven Discovery Center for Biology
(D3B) is committed to pioneering the future of bioscience research by leveraging state-of-the-art computational techniques and data analytics. Our mission focuses on driving advancements in neuroscience, cellular biology, and immunology through the integration of computational science and biological research. As part of the Allen Institute, D3B aims to be a global leader in creating actionable insights from complex biological data.The Scientist will develop bio-realistic network simulations at the level of a cortical area and the whole cortex, leveraging our multimodal datasets on brain composition and connectivity and training models on in vivo data using AI approaches. The goal is to use modeling together with experiments from our collaborators to understand the mechanisms underlying brain responses to sensory stimulation, including periodic sensory stimuli and the resulting entrainment of neuronal populations.The Allen Institute believes that team science significantly benefits from the participation of diverse voices, experiences, and backgrounds. High-quality science can only be produced when it includes different perspectives. We are committed to increasing diversity across every team and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for this role.Essential Functions
Construct and simulate biologically realistic models of brain networks using multimodal experimental data and ML/AI training approachesWork with our collaborators at MIT and Boston University to establish links between models and experimentsPublish/present findings in peer-reviewed journals/scientific conferences and freely share models and results with the communityNote: Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. This description reflects management’s assignment of essential functions; it does not proscribe or restrict the tasks that may be assigned.Required Education And Experience
PhD degree in Neuroscience, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related fields; or an equivalent combination of education and experiencePreferred Education And Experience
Experience in computational neuroscience and/or systems neuroscienceTrack record of scientific excellence and independent thinkingStrong publication recordExperience with scientific programming (e.g., in Python) and sharing/collaborative development of software (e.g., GitHub)Physical Demands
