Connectionists: Postdoc/Junior researcher positions in Computational Neuroscience within the BRADY project

[Jaroslav Hlinka]

*Postdoc/Junior researcher positions in Computational Neuroscience 
within the BRADY project*



Several postdoctoral positions are available in the *Complex Networks 
and Brain Dynamics group (COBRA) at the Institute of Computer Science, 
Prague (Czech Republic)*. These positions are part of a larger, 
interdisciplinary consortium project that has recently been awarded 
(OPJAK BRADY). The project topics include:


*Topic 1*: Detailed biophysical modelling of neurotransmitter action 
(supervised by Pavel Sanda).

*Topic 2*: Computationally efficient mean-field models of cortical 
microcircuits (supervised by Helmut Schmidt).

*Topic 3*: Whole-brain dynamics with applications particularly to 
schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease (supervised by Gustavo Deco).

*Topic 4*: Data-driven model inversion and personalized parameter 
identification (supervised by Nikola Jajcay).

*Topic 5*: Modelling interventions into arousal dynamics (supervised by 
Jaroslav Hlinka).

Other related topics may be considered based on their fit to the overall 
project.
