📣 PhD Position in Computational & Systems Neuroscience (Marseille, France) : Neuromodulatory control of predictive processing in visual cortical circuits

⏰️ Deadline: January 28, 2026

We are recruiting a PhD student to work on neuromodulatory control of predictive processing in mouse vision, co-supervised by Ede Rancz<https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:kgbpgmybkvnarzamc2g55xpg> (INMED) and myself.

Project Overview

This CENTURI<https://centuri-livingsystems.org> project combines:
