world-class research groups in related departments at University
College London, including Anatomy, Computer Science, Functional
Imaging, Physics, Physiology, Psychology, Neurology, Ophthalmology,
and Statistics, and the new cross-faculty Centre for Computational
Statistics and Machine Learning.

The Unit's visitor and seminar programmes enable staff and students to
engage with leading researchers from across the world.  

Candidates must have a strong analytical background and demonstrable
interest and expertise in theoretical neuroscience.

Stipends are competitive, based on experience and
achievement. Fellowships are typically offered for two years in the
first instance.

Applicants should send in pdf, plain text or Word format a CV, a
