[Zhiyong Yang]

The laboratory of Zhiyong Yang at the Brain and Behavior Discovery Institute at the Medical 
College of Georgia has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher. The long-term 
goal of the lab is to develop a statistical framework for understanding brain network
computation. Advanced statistical modeling is combined with neuro-imaging and large-scale
electro-physiological recording on awake, behaving animals. The ideal candidate will have strong
background in computer vision, pattern recognition, pattern theory, statistical learning theory, 
Bayesian statistics and statistics of complex networks. He/she will also have strong programming
skills and be available to do statistical modeling of very large datasets of natural visual scenes
and objects and large sets of neural recording data. 
 
The Brain and Behavior Discovery Institute is an exciting new center for systems neuroscience,
with plans for rapid expansion in the immediate future.  Medical College of Georgia has strong
research programs in other neuro-scientific disciplines, including molecular, cellular and
developmental neuroscience, and a variety of related clinical disciplines. Opportunities for
research collaborations also exist at the adjacent VA Hospital.
