Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
A four year doctoral position is available at the Biological
Neurocomputation Group, Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain. This
position is related to the project "Stimulus-response closed-loops
for multiscale and bidirectional interaction with the nervous
system" (MINECO TIN2012-30883). The research will focus on assessing
information processing in neural transient dynamics with closed-loop
technologies. See references below.<br>
<br>
The PhD position is funded by Spanish MINECO. Applicants should hold
a Master's degree at the time of the formalization of the contract
in one of the following (or related) disciplines: computer science,
physics, biology, engineering (graduation date not earlier than
January 1st 2010).<br>
<br>
Prior experience in the fields of electrophysiological recordings,
EEG, neuroimaging, or computational neuroscience will be valuable.
Enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research is required.<br>
<br>
Interested candidates, please send CV to Dr Pablo Varona: <a
