Connectionists: PhD position available

[Prof Sonja Gruen]

PhD position available

At the Institute of Advanced Simulation (IAS-6) at the Research Center 
Juelich a PhD position is available in the field of Computational 
Neuroscience to investigate cross-area interactions in the visuo-motor 
pathway of non-human primates during a visually guided motor task. The 
data are provided by our experimental partners at INT, CNRS, Marseille. 
Simultaneous electrophysiological recordings by multiple Utah electrode 
arrays implanted in V1, V2, V4, 7a, DP and M1 will be studied driven by 
predictions from theory and network modeling to gain a mechanistic 
understanding of cross-area interaction signatures. The project is 
embedded in the interdisciplinary work program of the IAS-6 
(www.csn.fz-juelich.de <http://www.csn.fz-juelich.de/>) with experts 
from network modeling, analytical theory, data analytics, AI and 
neuromorphic computing.

Applicants should have a background in computational neuroscience, 
physics, mathematics, or a related field. Solid skills of math and 
programming (preferably Python) are required. Experience with data 
analyses, modelling, analysis of complex systems, simulation, and 
software development are beneficial. Applicants should have a keen 
interest in neuroscience, interdisciplinary projects, and collaborative 
work.

Please send your application (incl. CV and two reference contacts) to 
Prof. Dr. Sonja Grün (s.gruen at fz-juelich.de) or Dr. David Dahmen 
(d.dahmen at fz-juelich.de).
