Postdoctoral Position and Studentship in Computational Neuroscience in Oxford

[Thomas Trappenberg]

Dear Colleagues,

I want to bring to your attention an opening of a research position in
computational neuroscience in Oxford. Further details are attached below. In
addition, there is a full Studentship for UK citizens (or a partial
Studentship for other nationalities) in our D.Phil program available.
However, a rapid response to this Studentship (within two days) is required.
Please write directly to Prof. Edmund Rolls (edmund.rolls at psy.ox.ac.uk).

Regards,
Thomas Trappenberg

Postdoctoral post in Neural Computation
Academic-Related Research Staff Grade 1A: Salary 16,775 - 25,213

A post is available as part of a long-term research programme for
research combining neurophysiological and computational approaches to
brain function. The post is to work with Prof E T Rolls and colleagues
to develop and apply information theoretic and statistical methods to
analyse data acquired from simultaneously recorded neurons, and to
assist in the development of software to help acquire such data. The
postholder will contribute to research aimed at understanding how
information is represented in the primate visual system (see Appendix 2
of Rolls and Treves, 1998). Applicants should have a degree in a
relevant scientific discipline (e.g. maths, physics, statistics or a
neuroscience-related discipline), be able to program in C, and willing
to work on Unix and PC systems. The appointee will be working
collaboratively as part of a team.  The appointment will be on the RS1A
(postdoctoral) scale or RS1B scale (according to experience) for three
years in the first instance.

Before submitting an application, candidates should obtain further
particulars from the Administrator, Department of Experimental
Psychology, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3UD (email
applications at psy.ox.ac.uk) or telephone 01865 271399 quoting Ref:
CQ/etr/036 (neurophysiology post) or 037 (computational post).
Further information on the research group may be found on the web-site
http://www.cns.ox.ac.uk/ and on the Department at
http://www.psych.ox.ac.uk/.  Initial scientific enquiries about the post
may be directed to Professor Edmund T. Rolls (email:
edmund.rolls at psy.ox.ac.uk), who will be pleased to send papers to
prospective applicants.
