Connectionists: Available Postdoc and PhD positions in computational neuroscience

[Lorenzo Fontolan]

*Institut de Neurobiologie de la Méditerranée (INMED), Aix-Marseille
University*
The *Neural computation and dynamics* group led by Lorenzo Fontolan is
seeking a postdoc and a Ph.D. student to join the lab. The projects are
funded by the Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI) at Aix-Marseille
University, France.

The selected candidates will develop computational models of brain circuits
and/or cutting-edge analysis tools for the analysis of neural data, drawing
inspiration from dynamical systems, physics, statistics, and machine
learning. Research questions can be chosen from a range of topics – such as
neural dynamics, neural coding, memory & learning, biophysics of the
neuron. The Fontolan lab collaborates with local and international research
groups employing advanced experimental techniques such as calcium imaging,
optogenetics, and in vivo electrophysiology.

The positions are funded by The Turing Center for Living Systems (CENTURI),
an interdisciplinary center that aims at deciphering the complexity of
biological systems, gathering researchers from 20 different research
institutes in biology, physics, mathematics, computer science and
engineering.

The recruited candidates will conduct their project at the *Institut de
Neurobiologie de la Méditerranée (Inmed). *Inmed, which accommodates more
than 130 international researchers, is located inside the beautiful Luminy
site of the Parc National des Calanques (Marseille). The Fontolan lab is
also affiliated with the Center for Theoretical Physics here in Marseille.
*Requirements*:
Candidates with backgrounds in physics, mathematics, statistics, machine
learning, computer science, and engineering are welcome to apply. The
candidate should possess good mathematical and coding skills, plus the
ability to think critically.

In the Fontolan lab we are committed to creating an inclusive environment
open to individuals from different cultures, ethnicities, and
socio-economic backgrounds.

Candidates should send a CV, a statement of interests, and expected date of
availability to:
lorenzo.fontolan at inserm.fr
