Sending csrf_token in JQuery .post method

How do alter my existing JQuery to pass a crsf_token to my django view;

$.post('/historicaldata/input_parameters/', 
            { selected_table: selected_table, selected_column: selected_column, selected_SDT: selected_SDT, selected_EDT: selected_EDT},
            function(data){

I currently recieve a 403 error when I try to post.
