Connectionists: Positions for international postdocs in the Tchumatchenko lab in Bonn/Germany

[Tatjana Tchumatchenko]

Dear friends and colleagues,

I am looking to recruit international postdoctoral fellows to my lab.  
It would be great to attract scientists who didn't have yet exposure to 
the German neuroscience community and who would bring complementary 
expertise and perspectives.

*Two postdoc positions (m/f/d) are available in the Tchumatchenko group.*

The Tchumatchenko Group is seeking to attract two highly motivated 
postdoc candidates (0-5 years post PhD) to conduct research in the field 
of computational neuroscience. Prof. Tatjana Tchumatchenko was recently 
appointed a Henriette Herz scout at the Alexander von Humboldt 
foundation and is looking to attract two international postdocs though 
this funding scheme [1].

The ideal candidate will be an international, highly motivated, 
scientifically curious postdoctoral fellow with a strong work ethic and 
a PhD degree in life sciences, Neuroscience, Physics, Mathematics, 
Engineering or similar disciplines who looking to answer open question 
in computational neuroscience. Great social skills, excellent command of 
the English language and enthusiasm for working in a competitive 
interdisciplinary research team are essential.
Potential scientific projects should lie either at the boundary between 
behavioral analysis and circuit neuroscience or at the boundary between 
molecular dynamics and circuit neuroscience:  how is the molecular 
dynamics organized across the brain and what are statistical differences 
across cell types? How can we design computational models and conduct 
data analysis at the level transcriptomes and proteomes to understand 
the implementation of physiological and behavioral conditions across the 
brain? How can we relate learning at the level of synapses and circuits 
to behavioral changes observed in animals? Can we identify behavioral 
states and link them to particular circuit activity states?
Please send your application together with a cover letter, a CV with 
contact details from one academic reference and copies of all relevant 
degree certificates to tatjana.tchumatchenko at uni-bonn.de. Please include 
in your subject line “AvH Application your name”. We are looking forward 
to your application!

Duration and salary will be according to the fellowship scale of the 
Alexander von Humboldt foundation. Start date negotiable, preference for 
April to October 2026 or 2027.
