Connectionists: PhD positions in dendritic computations (Poirazi lab)

[Yiota Poirazi]

The Poirazi lab <http://www.dendrites.gr> at IMBB-FORTH, in Crete, Greece
is recruiting *two PhD students *as part of the Marie Skłodowska Curie
Innovative Training Network “SmartNets <https://www.smartnets-etn.eu>”

The objective of SmartNets is to provide high-level training into the
functioning of  biological networks to a new generation of early stage
researchers, to provide them with the skills necessary for thriving careers
in a burgeoning area that underpins innovative technological development
across a range of diverse disciplines. This goal will be achieved by a
unique combination of “hands-on” research training, non-academic placements
(industrial and non-profit organisations) and courses and workshops on both
scientific and complementary -so-called “soft”- skills facilitated by the
academic-non-academic composition of the consortium. SmartNets brings
together neuroscientists, behavioural and cognitive scientists, physicists,
computer scientists, and non-profit stakeholders in order to train the next
generation of  data scientists that will: 1) develop a fundamental
understanding of the relationship between structure and function in
biological networks and 2) translate this knowledge into novel
technological solutions. ESRs will develop a unique interdisciplinary set
of skills that will make them capable of analyzing networks at many levels
and for many systems.

*Mobility Rule*: PhD students must not have resided or carried out their
main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the host for more
than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date.
Compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays, and time spent
as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva
Convention, are not taken into account.
