Job Description
Our lab was recently founded at the Neuro-Electronics Flanders (NERF), Belgium. We are currently exploring a range of exciting topics at the intersection between computational neuroscience and probabilistic machine learning.
In this context, we are looking for a PhD and a postdoc interested in using computational tools to investigate how the complex biophysics of single neurons gives rise to the dynamics of neural populations. These projects will make use of our previously developed machine learning methods, and depending on the selected candidates' interests, can involve further method development.
