<b><u>PhD student position in theoretical/ computational neuroscience</u></b> (German payscale 0.67x E13 TV-L) is available for 3 years initially, starting January 2015 or later, at the
<b>Dept. of Theoretical Neuroscience (Head: Prof. Daniel Durstewitz), Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Heidelberg-Mannheim</b>, Central Institute of Mental Health Mannheim, Heidelberg University.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span lang="EN-US">The lab focuses on highly data-driven computational models of prefrontal cortical and hippocampal network dynamics underlying higher cognitive function in health and psychiatric
disease. Our approach is to estimate (in statistically principled ways) single cell and network models from slice and in-vivo electrophysiological recordings generated in the lab, and then apply these for understanding network function and dysfunction in experimental
data (multiple single-unit, behavior) in psychiatrically relevant genetic animal models. Applicants should have a strong mathematical background (dynamical systems and/or statistics / stochastic processes), good programming skills (Matlab, C++), and a keen
interest in biological and neural systems. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
