PhD studentship with Wolfram Schultz and Peter Dayan

[Peter Dayan]

PhD Studentship
Neuroscience

Applications are invited for a research studentship on empirical and
theoretical study of the neural basis of reinforcement learning,
tenable as part of a collaboration between Wolfram Schultz, at the
Department of Anatomy, University of Cambridge, and Peter Dayan, at
the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, UCL. The Cambridge lab has
long-standing experience in the recording and analysis of the
activities of dopamine cells and their targets; the Gatsby Unit is one
of the largest labs in the world devoted to computational
neuroscience.

Applicants should have a strong analytical background, a keen interest
in neuroscience, and a good honours degree in a relevant subject. The
post will likely be based in Cambridge, though substantial interaction
with the Gatsby Unit in London (90 minutes away) will be required.

Applications should include a CV, a statement of research interests,
and a list of three referees, and should be made by 31st May 2002 by
email to admissions at gatsby.ucl.ac.uk
