<div style="">A fully funded PhD position in Computational Neuroscience is available with Prof. Mark Humphries at the School of Psychology, University of Nottingham.</div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">Deadline: October 31st</div>
<div style="">Full details and to apply: <a href="https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/psychology/news/funded-phd-opportunity-prof-mark-humphries.aspx" target="_blank" style="font-size: 10pt;">https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/psychology/news/funded-phd-opportunity-prof-mark-humphries.aspx</a></div>

<div style="">The Humphries’ lab interrogates how the joint activity of many neurons encodes the past, present, and future, in order to guide behaviour. We combine simulations of neural circuits with “neural data science” – the development and use of machine-learning
approaches to systems neuroscience data. We are particularly interested in PhD projects on the following research questions:</div>
<div style="">
<ul style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">
<li>“Mapping the wires from neural activity”. How to use the next generation of imaging techniques that directly record neuron voltages to accurately infer the wiring between neurons.</li><li>“How to write activity into neurons". What features of neural activity should we change with optogenetics in order to test hypotheses about population activity? </li><li>“Dynamic control of the striatum in health and disease”. How the influence of the striatal interneurons is controlled by dopamine, and how that influence goes haywire when dopamine is lost in Parkinson’s disease.</li></ul>
