Job Description

Doctoral Position in Computational Neuroscience. Are you curious about how the human brain stores memories? Have you wondered how we manage to navigate through space? Our dynamic research group uses diverse computational modeling approaches, including biological neural networks, cognitive modeling, and machine learning/artificial intelligence, to study learning and memory. Currently, we are actively seeking a talented graduate student to join our team, someone who will expand our computational modeling framework Cobel-Spike and use it to study how spiking neural networks can learn to navigate. This position is 65% at TV-L E13, starts as soon as possible, and is funded for 3 years.

Requirements

  • Candidates must have a masters degree in neuroscience
  • physics
  • computer science
  • mathematics
  • psychology
  • or a related field
  • be able to work independently
  • have experience in mathematical modeling
  • have excellent programming skills
  • have excellent communication skills in English
  • and work well in a team.
