Connectionists: PhD positions on stochastic modeling of neuronal biological data at University of Sao Paulo Brazil

[Antonio C. Roque]

The doctoral program in Statistics (Statistics and Probability) of the
Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, University of São Paulo, Brazil,
has 3 fellowships for a full time PhD student without master's degree.
These are full fellowships for a period of 48 months, starting February
2017. These positions are focused on research in probability theory and
inference in stochastic processes with emphasis on stochastic modeling of
neuronal biological data.

The student will be part of the research group: The Research, Innovation
and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics, funded by FAPESP (São Paulo
Research Foundation). See:

The doctoral program in Statistics (Statistics and Probability) of
Universidade de São Paulo-Brazil is well known for its innovative research
in statistics and probability, besides its large experience with PhD
advising. More than 300 PhD former students have successfully finished
their projects in our doctoral program and are now leading research and
applications in Statistics and Probability in several universities of Latin
American countries. We invite you to visit our page:
http://www.ime.usp.br/en/statistics/graduate

Those interested should contact Ms. Regiane Guimarães at
secccpmae at ime.usp.br

They should fill the Application Form, indicating interest in the
fellowship FAPESP/Neuromat (http://www.ime.usp.br/mae/pos/edital). We will
need also:
- Academic transcripts of your previous studies;
- Updated Curriculum Vitae;
- An essay (maximum of five pages) reporting your academic experience,
research experience, publications, unpublished results and a small
scientific project;
- At least 2 recommendation letters.
Those should be mailed by the recommenders directly to secccpmae at ime.usp.br

Remark: Candidates approved on either round will be requested to expand
their five-page research plan to full four-year proposals. For the
implementation of the fellowships, those proposals, together with all the
application material received, will be submitted to FAPESP for final
approval.

Deadline: November 4th 2016
