Prof. Tatjana Tchumatchenko

Postdoc position: The postdoc candidate will be involved in a computational project addressing how neurons efficiently synthesize and distribute proteins in order to ensure that these are readily available across all synapses, will analyze data and model synaptic plasticity changes in order to understand health and disease states computationally. This work is centered on computational tools and includes pen-and-paper calculations, data analysis, and numerical simulations and requires an interdisciplinary mindset. PhD position: The PhD candidate will be conducting circuit level data analysis and modeling of neural activity states. He/she will contribute to the development of machine learning algorithms to analyse imaging data or to distinguish different behavioral activity states. This work is centered on dynamical systems methods, data analysis and numerical simulations and requires an interdisciplinary mindset. Master students interested in conducting Master thesis research (6-12 months) related to the two projects above a welcome to apply.
