It is at the interface between experimental neuroscience (Institute of Neuroscience in Newcastle University, UK, E.

The studentship is for three years, starting in October 2017. It covers student fees and maintenance as well as funds for travelling between the two teams and conference expenses.<br><br>The detailed proposition can be found here <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1088_com_zimbra_url"><span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1091_com_zimbra_url"><a target="_blank" href="https://team.inria.fr/biovision/files/2017/04/20170418-phd-cessac.pdf" data-mce-href="https://team.inria.fr/biovision/files/2017/04/20170418-phd-cessac.pdf">https://team.inria.fr/biovision/files/2017/04/20170418-phd-cessac.pdf</a></span></span><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div></div></body></html>
