<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Tahoma;color:rgb(26,26,26)">The successful candidate will develop and use tools for
the analysis of joint recordings of field potentials and single-neuron activity
from genetically identified cell types in the cortex to understand the causal
contribution of specific cellular subpopulations to the generation of slow oscillations.
The project will also require the development of computational models that may
explain the contribution of specific cell types to slow oscillations. The
laboratory offers a range of strongly interdisciplinary and highly
complementary expertise including computational neuroscience, electrophysiology
and optogenetics. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to analyze
experimental data and to suggest causal manipulations based on the predictions
that arise from the theoretical work. </span></p>

neuroscience is desirable, but not necessary. Candidates must hold a PhD in
computational neuroscience, (bio)-physics, (bio)-engineering or a related
discipline and be highly motivated and creative individuals who want to work in
a dynamic, multi-disciplinary research environment and who are willing to interact
with both experimental and theoretical neuroscientists. </span></p>
