Master position in computational neuroscience at INRIA
<br>
<br>
We are seeking an undergraduate student interested in doing a Master
thesis, possibly followed by a funded Ph.D. in our group Biovision
at <a href="http://www.inria.fr/en/centre/sophia">
INRIA Sophia Antipolis</a> lead by Dr. Bruno Cessac.
<br>
The detailed proposition can be found here <a

<br>
<br>
In collaboration with experimentalists our group studies how the
visual system encodes information about external word. We propose
biophysical models, we develop methods coming from theoretical
physics and mathematics to analyse them, and we design software
inspired from the visual system to mimic its behaviour and to
analyse experimental data.
<br>
<br>
Successful applicants should have a strong background in computer
science. Physics, mathematics or life science majors with strong
skills in computer science (especially C/C++), interested in
quantitative modeling work are also encouraged to apply,
particularly if they would like to combine experiments and theory in
their Master or Ph.D. thesis work. In order to make teamwork in our
group enjoyable and fun, the ideal candidate should have a strong
work ethic and have demonstrated consistent self-motivation skills.
<br>
<br>
Prospective students should apply by sending an email to which
includes
<br>
* a letter of motivation,
<br>
* CV,
<br>
* and a copy of the current academic transcripts
<br>
<br>
to be sent to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"

Looking forward to your applications!
