Job Description

Research Fellow position: This project explores individuality of neural circuits and neural activity in C. elegans brain, based on whole-brain-activity data and information about the C. elegans connectome (neural circuit wiring data). The project combines data driven approaches from AI on the one hand, and whole-brain computational modelling on the other. PhD opening: How do worms move in 3D? To address this question, we have built a 3D imaging system and have collected hours of footage. Prior work has focused on developing machine vision methods to reconstruct postures and trajectories; characterising postures and locomotion behaviours; and characterising and modelling locomotion strategies and foraging behaviours. This PhD can build on these foundations to perform exciting innovative experiments, and/or to build computational models of worm locomotion.

Requirements

  • Research Fellow position: Required technical skills include Programming
  • AI
  • computational modelling. PhD opening: Candidates should email with a copy of their CV
