<p>Within DFG-funded project, I am looking for a PhD candidate to
work on the theoretical description of stochastic
oscillations.Specifically, we want to apply and generalize a
recently developed universal description of stochastic oscillators
(Perez-Cervera et al. PNAS, 2023) in three respects: (i) it should
be applied to oscillators that have higher dimensions than two
going beyond what has been studied before; (ii) the nonlinear
transformation at the core of the procedure should be extracted
from (simulation or experimental) data; (iii) the theory for
coupled stochastic oscillators will be more thoroughly grounded
and, moreover, extended to the case of networks of stochastic
oscillators (more than two oscillators, the case previously
investigated). These explorations and extensions of the framework
have potential applications for the theoretical description of
many systems outside of thermodynamic equilibrium, in particular
in biology and neuroscience.<br>
The successful candidate should have a degree in physics,
mathematics or computational neuroscience (a background in
neurobiology is desirable but not obligatory), programming skills
(C++, Python, LaTeX, Linux), an excellent command of the English
language, good communication skills, team spirit, and, last but
not least, great enthusiasm for interdisciplinary projects.<br>
<br>
Funding is provided for three years, starting in the <b>fall 2024</b>.

Applications, including a letter of motivation, a CV, and a list
of three potential referees should be sent by email to

<br>
The deadline for applications is <b>July 24, 2024</b>, however,
later applications might also be considered.<br>
