Connectionists: Two Post-doc/PhD positions in computational modeling of epilepsy

[Jochen Triesch]

Two Post-doc/PhD positions are available in the context of Frankfurt's new Center for Personalized Translational Epilepsy Research (CePTER). The project focuses on better understanding circuit changes and neuroimmune interactions during the development of epilepsy and is jointly lead by Profs. Peter Jedlicka and Jochen Triesch. The positions are based at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (https://fias.uni-frankfurt.de/en/). Frankfurt has a vibrant Neuroscience community and the successful candidates will work closely together with experimental labs.

Ideal candidates will have obtained a PhD/Master Degree in Computational Neuroscience or closely related field and have a strong interest in applying their knowledge to problems of medical relevance. Prior experience with modeling spiking neural networks or compartmental modeling is highly desirable. Experience in modeling epilepsy, neural plasticity and neuro-immune interactions is a plus. Earliest starting date is in January 2018. Review of applications will continue until the positions have been filled.

Applications (single pdf file including CV, list of publications, statement of research interests and names and email addresses of three references) should be sent to jedlicka at em.uni-frankfurt.de and triesch at fias.uni-frankfurt.de .
