Prof. Sen Cheng, Institute for Neural Computation at the Ruhr University 
Bochum in Germany, invites applicants for the position of *Doctoral 
Fellow in Computational Neuroscience*.

The work will focus on studying the interaction between neocortex and 
hippocampus using spiking neural network models. The position is part of 
the project"Theory of the interplay between sensory cortices and 
hippocampus in memory formation and retrieval", which is funded by the 
German Research Foundation as part of the collaborative research center 
SFB 874. The position is funded from*01.07.2019 - 30.06.2022* (TV-L E13
