PhD-Position in Neural Computation

[Wolfgang Maass]

A Phd-Position is available in our Institute for a research project
on Computation and Learning in Neural Microcircuit Models
(funded by the Austrain Science Foundation).

The goal of this project is to develop -- in collaboration with
neurophysiologists from various labs -- computer models for cortical 
columns,
and to provide new tools from dynamical systems theory and machine
learning for analyzing the function of cortical columns.

Needed qualifications are experience in computer-modelling
and/or computer science,  strong interest in understanding
biological neural computation, and excellent grades
and/or evidence of very good research potential.

Applications (including samples of papers and email addresses of referees)
should be sent by May 5 per email to
