Cycling between excess and insufficient energy, mania and depression suggest a breakdown of metabolic homeostasis. How does metabolic dysregulation, at the neuronal scale, impact regulation of macro-scale neural circuits driving clinical cycles? To answer these and related questions, we are currently recruiting new members of our research team to develop multi-scale models to study how metabolic dysregulation impacts brain circuits in Bipolar Disorder I.
Required qualifications:
○ PhD in STEM, with training in neuroscience, metabolism, and/or systems biology.
○ Strong quantitative and coding skills, with demonstrated expertise in computational modeling.
○ Demonstrated expertise in control theory and/or dynamical systems.
○ Facility with the Julia language, using toolboxes (e.g., SciML/ModelingToolkit.jl)
