Connectionists: PhD researcher in modeling and control of neural systems

[Marcel van Gerven]

The AI Department of the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour is looking for a PhD researcher in modeling and control of neural systems as part of the DBI2 consortium (https://dbi2.nl <https://dbi2.nl/>).

You will be expected to co-develop a computational framework to further our understanding of how natural agents solve closed-loop control problems. This entails the development of multi-agent simulations, incorporation of new brain-inspired reinforcement learning algorithms and placing the results in a neuroscientific context. You are further expected to publish your work in high-impact machine learning and neuroscience conferences and journals, help develop the AI-related component of the research program, be an active member of the consortium with excellent communication skills, share our enthusiasm and have the ability to work together in a team. 

The Donders Institute provide excellent facilities such as computing facilities, a robot lab, a virtual reality lab, behavioural labs, and a technical support group. The AI Department is also a founding member of Radboud AI and the ELLIS Unit Nijmegen (European Excellence Network in Machine Learning). You will join the Artificial Cognitive Systems (ACS) group headed by Prof. van Gerven and interact closely with other machine learning researchers and computational neuroscientists.
