Investigate how mice learn and generalize between virtual and real environments in the Optophysiology Lab at IMBIT. The project combines behavioural experiments, neural recordings and quantitative analysis with development and in-vivo validation of a two-photon miniscope. The researcher will contribute to device design, model behavioural and neural data, and help interpret and publish findings.…

Model nuclear reactors and fuel cycles for nuclear nonproliferation research. The work includes reactor-core physics, material inventories, radiation detector response and safeguards analysis, in collaboration with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Division. Applications are made on the employer’s recruitment portal; no closing date is stated. Initial appointment up to 24 months, with extensions…

Lead clinical pharmacology and pharmacometric strategy for rare-disease and oncology programmes. Responsibilities include modelling and simulation, Phase 1–3 study design, regulatory documentation and health-authority interactions, working with clinical, translational and preclinical teams.

Basal ganglia are essential for learning and adapting movements, yet their output is often unnecessary for executing learned actions. A biologically grounded model of the closed cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical loop explains this apparent discrepancy. Dopamine-dependent plasticity, recurrent cortical dynamics and basal ganglia feedback jointly support early motor acquisition and adaptation,…

Precipitation-triggered geohazards, including landslides, debris flows, flooding, erosion, and scour, present growing challenges as hydroclimatic extremes intensify. This presentation describes an integrated framework that combines physics-based probabilistic hazard modeling with holistic, multimodal monitoring to support detection, forecasting, prioritization, and management of geohazard risk.…
