Topic: computational approaches

OCNS has announced that its annual Computational Neuroscience meeting will take place in Gran Canaria on 10–14 July 2027. The meeting is a specialist forum for theoretical and computational approaches to nervous systems. This is an advance planning listing: the announcement does not yet provide a 2027 registration or abstract-submission window. Consult OCNS for the forthcoming programme and participation details.

Responsibilities include independent externally funded research, graduate mentoring and teaching, collaboration and departmental service. The department has programmes in synthetic chemistry, chemical biology and drug discovery. Submit a CV, research plans and three recommendation letters through Interfolio by 15 October 2026 at 23:59 Eastern Time. Appointment terms reflect experience; applicants seeking less than full

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

Emory Psychology invites developmental scientists for an open-rank tenure-track appointment beginning August 1, 2027. The search welcomes interdisciplinary work, including neuroscience, comparative and computational approaches to development. Responsibilities include maintaining a productive research programme, teaching and mentoring, and contributing to the intellectual life of the department. Applications must be complete by October 28, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time; late applications are not accepted.

James Fergusson discusses artificial intelligence and data-intensive science, including how mathematical and computational approaches help researchers learn from complex datasets. The conversation connects research practice with the training needed to work across scientific disciplines.

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

Jan Bjaalie and Hans Ekkehard Plesser discuss computational approaches to brain research and the Human Brain Project. Conversation in Norwegian.
