openings in the group of RAVA AZEREDO DA SILVEIRA at the Ecole Normale Superieure,
Paris</b> </p>
<p class="m_4728582574803849624inbox-inbox-Regular">We will be hiring
several Ph.D. students and postdocs to work on an array of projects on
computation and coding in neural circuits. The projected studies range from the
modeling of computations in retinal circuits, to the analysis of large sets of
retinal and cortical data, to the investigations of mathematical models of
coding. Some of the projects will be set in close collaboration with the
experimental labs of Botond Roska (FMI, Basel) and Andreas Hierlemann (ETH,
Basel); they will involve the study of mouse retina and cortex, primate retina,
and human retina, and questions on the representation and transformation of
sensory inputs in populations of neurons. Experience with data analysis and
proficiency with numerical methods and programming, in addition to familiarity
with neuroscience topics and mathematical and statistical methods, are
desirable. Equally desirable are a spirit of intellectual adventure as well as
drive and eagerness.</p>
<p class="m_4728582574803849624inbox-inbox-Regular">The ENS, together with a
number of neighboring institutions (College de France, Institut Curie, ESPCI,
Paris Science et Lettres, Sorbonne Université, and Institut Pasteur), offers a
rich scientific and intellectual environment, with a strong representation in
computational neuroscience and related fields.</p>
<p class="m_4728582574803849624inbox-inbox-Regular">Doctoral and
postdoctoral salaries will be competitive, appreciably higher than standard
French salaries. Depending on their projects, Ph.D. students and postdocs may
wish to spend a fraction of their time in Basel, Switzerland, which features a
first-rate community of researchers in experimental neuroscience.</p>
<p class="m_4728582574803849624inbox-inbox-Regular">To apply, please send a
letter of motivation, a statement of research interests limited to two pages, a
curriculum vitae including a list of publications, and any relevant
publications to <span lang="FR"><a href="mailto:rava@ens.fr" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US">rava@ens.fr</span></a></span>, and arrange for three letters of
recommendations to be sent to the same address.</p>
<p class="m_4728582574803849624inbox-inbox-Regular">For full consideration,
please apply by 1 March 2018.</p><p class="m_4728582574803849624inbox-inbox-Regular"><br></p></div></div></div>
