Topic: Computational approaches

The winter selection recruits doctoral researchers to investigate cancer mechanisms and improve diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Applications close on 19 October 2026 through the DKFZ online system. Research is interdisciplinary, including experimental and computational approaches. Programme positions awarded through the selection are funded by a DKFZ PhD employment contract for at least three years, approximately equivalent to 65% TVöD E13, with social-security contributions and no tuition fees. Review the recruiting groups, admission requirements and application handbook before submissio

In my talk I will discuss the concept of a cognitive ontology, which defines the parts of the mind that psychologists and neuroscientsts aim to study. I will discuss the way in which ontologies have traditionally been defined, and then discuss ways in which ontology might be reconsidered in the context of computational approaches to cognition.

Join the Department of Bioengineering on the 26th May at 9:00am for The 2021 Annual Bioengineering Lecture + Bioinspired Guidance, Navigation and Control Symposium. This year’s lecture speaker will be distinguished bioengineer and neuroscientist Professor Mandyam V. Srinivasan AM FRS, from the University of Queensland. Professor Srinivasan studies visual systems, particularly those of bees and birds. His research has revealed how flying insects negotiate narrow gaps, regulate the height and speed of flight, estimate distance flown, and orchestrate smooth landings. Apart from enhancing funda
