The Gonçalves lab is a recently founded research group at the Neuro-Electronics Flanders (NERF), Belgium, co-affiliated with the VIB Center for AI & Computational Biology. We are currently exploring a range of exciting topics at the intersection between computational neuroscience and probabilistic machine learning. In particular, we develop machine learning methods to derive mechanistic insights from neuroscience data and apply them to challenging neuroscience problems: from the retrieval of complex input-output functions of biophysically-detailed single neurons to the full characterisation of mechanisms of compensation for perturbations in neural circuits. We work in an interdisciplinary, collaborative, and supportive work environment, which emphasizes diversity and inclusion.

NERF is a joint research initiative by imec, VIB and KU Leuven.

We are looking for a PhD and a postdoc candidates interested in developing machine learning methods and applying them to neuroscience problems. There will be flexibility to customise the project and ample opportunities to collaborate with top experimental and theoretical partners locally and internationally.
