Connectionists: Open PhD positions in Computational modeling and experimental studies of motor and cognitive processes in health and disease.

[Ahmed Moustafa]

Funding is available for two PhD students.



We seek graduate students to work on studies of Motor and Cognitive
Processes in patient populations, including Parkinson's disease,
schizophrenia, drug addiction, among others. This is part of various thesis
projects leading towards a PhD.



Applicants with interest in either experimental or computational modeling
research are encouraged to apply.



Computational modeling work involves building abstract mathematical models
of learning, cognition, and decision making as well as neural network
models that integrate neuroscience data.



Experimental studies focus on testing cognitive function in various patient
populations as well as behavioral neurogenetics and fMRI studies in
collaboration with various labs around Sydney. Testing of subjects will
take place at University of New South Wales, Sydney University, and/or
other hospitals in Sydney CBD.

The lab is located in Bankstown, a suburb of Sydney.
