The
<span style="line-height: 107%;" class=""><a href="https://www.uwo.ca/bmi/cbs/index.html" class="">Computational Brain Sciences
Research Group</a> </span>at the Brain and Mind Institute has become a major hub of excellence in this area, bringing together an interdisciplinary and highly collaborative team of researchers, spanning Neuroscience, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Statistics and Mathematics, who seek to uncover how the brain solves the computational problems that ultimately give rise to intelligent behavior. Our group is tightly embedded into the strong and vibrant research community in basic and clinical neuroscience at Western.<br class=""><br class="">We are looking for exceptionally talented and motivated MSc / PhD students for the fall 2021 intake. Through BrainsCAN funding, we offer a <a href="https://brainscan.uwo.ca/research/cores/computational_core/postdoctoral_and_graduate_fellowship_program.html" class="">competitive graduate scholarship program</a> in computational neuroscience. Interested applicants should contact one or more principal investigators at Western University whose combined expertise covers the spectrum of computation and neuroscience, and who can serve as co-advisors on the proposed research project. Projects that contribute to increasing diversity in neuroscience at Western University are encouraged. <br class=""><br class="">Among the core faculty are: <div class=""><ul class=""><li class="">Marieke Mur - Vision, Psychophysics, Neuroimaging</li><li class="">Yalda Mohsenzadeh - Neural Dynamics of human Perception and Memory, Computer Vision </li><li class="">Lyle Muller - Vision, Memory, Networks</li><li class="">Jörn Diedrichsen - Motor Control and Learning, Analysis of Neural and Neuroimaging data </li><li class="">Ali Khan - Anatomical and functional imaging analysis, Ultra-high field Neuroimaging pipelines</li><li class="">Boyu Want- Machine learning, Brain Signal analysis, Knowledge transfer in ML </li><li class="">Andrea Soddu - Resting-state networks, function-structure relationship </li><li class="">Mark Daley - Neural Computing, Theoretical Computer Science </li></ul></div><div class="">More information about the research groups can be found <a href="https://www.uwo.ca/bmi/cbs/about_us/core_labs.html" class="">here</a>:</div><div class=""><br class="">Please send a single PDF file entitled <LastName>_<FirstName>.pdf to the principal investigator(s) you hope to work with, containing<br class=""><ul class=""><li class="">a CV</li><li class="">a short Research Statement (maximal 2 pages) outlining your research interest and how it fits with ongoing work in the lab(s)</li><li class="">the name and contact information of 2 academic references</li><li class="">please state clearly, which graduate program (Neuroscience, Computer Science, Statistics, or Applied Mathematics, or other) you are applying for.</li></ul>Individual PIs will begin the review of applications on December, 18th.
