Connectionists: PhD positions in Computational Neuroscience

[Alexander Kozlov]

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctoral Program "EuroSPIN" (European Study Programme 
in Neuroinformatics) is inviting applications from students having a solid 
background in mathematics, physics, computer sciences, biochemistry or 
neuroscience (on a master level or equivalent), in all cases with computer 
science skills. Documented interest in research like activities (e.g. 
demonstrated in the form of master thesis work, or participation in research 
related activities) is of large importance. Also fluency in English is 
requested.

Four partners participate:

- Bernstein Center Freiburg, Germany
- KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
- National Centre for Biological Science, India
- University of Edinburgh (UoE), UK

They are all research leaders in the Neuroinformatics field, but they have 
complementary strengths.

Each student will spend most of the time at two of the partner universities, 
and also receive a joint (or double) PhD degree following a successful 
completion of the studies. The mobility periods, as well as the courses a 
student will follow, are tailored individually based on: a) the PhD students 
background; b) which constellations of partners that are involved, as well as 
c) the specific research project. During the PhD period each student has one 
main supervisor from each of the two universities that grant the PhD degree.

There are excellent scholarship opportunities for students accepted to an 
Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate programme. An employment contract will be given 
to all selected PhD students during the study time, which is 4 years.
