Connectionists: Junior/Postdoc Researcher positions in Computational Neuroscience (BRADY project) Prague, Czech Republic

[Magda Pokorna]

*Junior Researchers: Postdoctoral Fellow, Graduate student or Research 
assistant in Computational Neuroscience within the BRADY project - Ref. 
No. 2025/11***

Junior researcher positions are available in the Complex Networks and 
Brain Dynamics group (COBRA, https://cobra.cs.cas.cz/) at the Institute 
of Computer Science, Prague, Czech Republic (https://www.cs.cas.cz/en). 
These positions are centered in the Research Work Package 1 (RWP1) of a 
larger, interdisciplinary consortium established for the OPJAK BRADY 
project.

*---  The relevant RWP1 aims to establish a family of generative models 
of graded complexity capturing brain dynamics that would:*

  * Approximate spatial patterns observed in resting state neuroimaging,
    including topology and topography of functional connectivity.
  * Approximate temporal brain dynamics, including activity
    fluctuations, connectivity dynamics, and information flow.
  * Provide an internally consistent unified account of
    electrophysiological and fMRI data, linking to biologically
    interpretable latent variables and structural connectivity.
  * Allow predicting the effect of external stimulation, such as complex
    sensory and cognitive tasks, electric of magnetic stimulation, or
    pharmacological intervention.
  * Allow capturing the key axes of inter-subject variability, linking
    it to psychometric data.
  * Ultimately allow characterizing and predicting the trajectory of
    deviation from healthy brain dynamics in a range of psychiatric and
    neurological diseases.

*---  Conditions:*

  * Positions are available immediately, i.e. starting from 1. 3. 2025
    or later.
  * Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
  * Contract is for 12-36 months duration, with exceptions negotiable.
  * Possibility of extension until end of project (30. 6. 2028), support
    for transition to tenure-track or external funding applications.
  * This is a full-time fixed term contract appointment. Part time
    contract negotiable.
  * Competitive salary based on qualifications and experience.
  * Bonuses and travel funding for conferences and research stays
    depending on performance.
  * No teaching duties.

*---  Applicants should:*

 1. Hold a PhD with the exception of Research assistant and Graduate
    student positions.
 2. Have a strong background (commensurate to the respective career
    level) in some of the fields related to computational neuroscience -
    mathematical, statistical skills, experience with data analysis,
    machine learning, computer programming.
 3. Be fluent in English.

We seek curious, self-motivated, hard-working, team-spirited researchers.
Prior experience with time series and network analysis is advantageous, 
but not required.
