Connectionists: Wanted: Postdoc for joint project on bio-inspired control and ML (EPFL/TUM)

[Jakob Macke]

Dear colleagues,

Pavan Ramdya’s Laboratory of Neuroengineering (EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland) and Jakob Macke’s Computational Neuroengineering Group (TU Munich, Germany) invite applicants for a joint Postdoctoral position in bioinspired control and machine learning. We will ideally support the candidate in an application through he Eurotech Postdoc initiative (http://postdoc.eurotech-universities.eu,  proposal deadline 28.02.2019), but alternative funding sources are available.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will explore deep networks and bioinspired neural network controllers to actuate an in silico model of Drosophila melanogaster. These investigations will inform and be performed in dialogue with colleagues performing in vivo functional imaging experiments and quantitative behaviour in tethered, behaving flies. They will enjoy a competitive salary, benefits, and a high quality of life in either the French-speaking part of Switzerland (Lausanne) or in Munich, but in an English-speaking setting. They will be expected to have a PhD providing them with experience in computational neuroscience, machine learning, or a related discipline. Female applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.

Interested Postdoctoral applicants should contact Pavan Ramdya (pavan.ramdya at epfl.ch<mailto:pavan.ramdya at epfl.ch>) or Jakob Macke (macke at tum.de<mailto:macke at tum.de>) with their CV, an informal Statement of Interest, and the contact information for 3 Reference Letter Providers as soon as possible.
