Connectionists: PhD position at HU Berlin (Physics Dep.) available

[Benjamin Lindner]

*Calcium spiking with cumulative 
refractoriness - statistics of the 
fluctuations and implications for Calcium 
signaling**

*We are looking for a PhD candidate to 
theoretically explore models of noisy 
spike-generating cellular signalling 
systems for which the intracellular 
Calcium dynamics is a prominent example. 
Methods will be developed within the 
frameworks of the theory of stochastic 
processes, statistical physics and 
nonlinear dynamics.

The project is a collaboration between the 
research groups of Martin Falcke 
(Max-Delbrueck Center for Molecular 
Medicine Berlin and Humboldt University 
Berlin) and Benjamin Lindner (Bernstein 
Center for Computational Neuroscience 
Berlin and Humboldt University Berlin) and 
the PhD students of both groups are 
expected to closely collaborate.

The successful candidate should have a 
degree in physics (a background in 
physical biology is desirable but not 
obligatory), expertise in analytical 
calculations, programming skills (C++ or 
C, Python, LaTeX, Linux), and excellent 
command of the English language, good 
communication skills, and team spirit.

Funding is provided for three years, 
starting at the latest February 1, 2019. 
For details on the doctoral examination 
process at the Physics Department of 
Humboldt University Berlin, see

Applications, including a letter of 
motivation, a CV, and a list of three 
potential referees should be sent by email 
to

The deadline for applications is December 
31st 2018, however, later applications 
might also be considered.

HU is seeking to increase the proportion 
of women in research and teaching, and  
specifically encourages qualified female 
scholars to apply. Severely disabled 
applicants
with equivalent qualifications will be 
given preferential consideration. People 
with an immigration background are 
specifically encouraged to apply. Since we 
will not return
your documents, please submit copies in 
the application only.

Kind regards,
Benjamin Lindner
