Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow for a project focused on building BrainSTEM: A web application designed as an electronic lab notebook for describing neurophysiological experiments as well as a data-sharing platform for the community, where researchers can store and share the information and metadata about their experiments (www.brainSTEM.org). The research will take place at the Department of Neuroscience (in.ku.dk) at University of Copenhagen in the lab of Dr. Peter C. Petersen (PetersenLab.org).
The postdoc position is focused on the development of BrainSTEM, involving the design of a standard language for describing experimental neuroscience, semantic search functionality, stronger adoption of the FAIR principles, and stimulating and supporting community uptake. The project is primarily funded by the NIH, through the Brain Initiative U19 Oxytocin grant. The project will include occasional travels, e.g., to New York (NYU), Brain Initiate meetings, SfN, FENS, and to pilot user labs.
Our research
Our lab was founded in 2022, with the goal of understanding the neuronal mechanisms involved in memory and cognition and how imbalances in the circuits can lead to pathological conditions. In particular, we study spatial memory, and theta oscillations in behaving rats. We are using state-of-the-art methods for measuring and manipulating neuronal activity at large-scale and high specificity, together with advanced data analysis. This includes using Neuropixels and other high-density silicon probes, applying optogenetics, thermal and other perturbation techniques, dimensionality reduction, and other advanced population-analysis methods.
But we are also strong supporters of open science and have developed several tools and solutions for the neuroscience community (both software and hardware solutions. We built CellExplorer - a framework for analyzing single cells (CellExplorer.org) and are now developing BrainSTEM (BrainSTEM.org). The ultimate goal with BrainSTEM is to make neuroscience more open and FAIR, promote collaborations, break down barriers between labs, and for BrainSTEM to become the chosen platform of the community for sharing experimental work, within labs, and across the scientific community.
