The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit invites applications for
postdoctoral training fellowships in theoretical neuroscience and
related areas.

The Gatsby Unit is a world-class centre for theoretical neuroscience
and machine learning, focusing on the interpretation of neural data,
population coding, perceptual processing, neural dynamics,
neuromodulation, and learning. The Unit also has significant interests
across a range of areas in machine learning.

The Unit provides a unique environment in which a critical mass of
theoreticians interact closely with each other and with other
world-class research groups in related departments at UCL, 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.

Salaries are competitive, based on experience and achievement.
Funding for the positions is available for an initial period of
between one and two years.

Applicants should send in pdf, plain text or Word format a CV, a
statement of research interests, and the names and full contact
