Job Description
The Wiring, Neuromodeling and Brain Lab at IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria is offering 2 PhD positions in neuromodulation-aware artificial intelligence. We are interested in (1) the role of individual neuromodulators (e.g., dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine) in initiating and implementing diverse biological and cognitive functions, (2) how competition and cooperation among neuromodulators enrich single neuromodulator computations, and (3) how multi-neuromodulator dynamics can be translated into learning rules for more flexible, robust, and adaptive learning in artificial neural networks.
Requirements
- We are looking for two motivated PhD students with a strong interest in the intersection of neuroscience
- computational modeling
- and AI. Ideal candidates will have completed or be in the final stages of a master’s degree in computer science
- mathematics
- physics
- computational neuroscience
- or other relevant fields. Programming skills
- a solid understanding of computational modeling
- and the ability to work and think independently are required. Experience with deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch is preferred. Working knowledge of spiking neural networks and compartmental models is a plus.
