Connectionists: Fully-funded UK/EU PhD studentship in neural data science, deadline 25th July

[Mark Humphries]

A fully-funded EU/UK PhD studentship is available in the lab of Prof Mark Humphries at the University of Nottingham, on a project entitled "Inferring the connectome using voltage imaging".

This project will develop computational techniques to accurately infer wiring between neurons from the next generation of imaging techniques that directly record neuron voltages. The project will combine development of algorithms, simulations of neural circuits as test-beds, and analysis of real imaging data from neural populations.

For a primer on the problem of finding the wiring between neurons, read our piece here:  https://medium.com/the-spike/mindlessly-mapping-the-brain-1dec092a404d

Deadline: 25th July 2018
Start date: October 2018
