PhD position on reservoirs with dynamic synapses (Göttingen, Germany)
by Fauth, Michael Dec. 19, 2023

Dec. 19, 2023

The Institute of Biophysics at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany, is looking to fill a Ph.D. position (German Salary Scale TV-L E13, 75% (29.85 weekly hours) for 3 years). This post is designed to foster young researchers and give the successful applicant the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree. The position should be filled by March 1rst 2024 or soon thereafter. The positions will be affiliated with the groups of Dr. Michael Fauth and Prof. Florentin Wörgötter. The Project: Based on mathematical modeling and analysis, we aim to understand how the dynamics of synapses (e.g., synaptic plasticity) will not only shape neuronal activities in recurrent neuronal networks, but also carry out computation. We propose that networks optimally exploit this computational power through continuous rewiring of synapses -- that is creating synapses with different properties and stabilizing synapses with the right dynamics at the right place. We will test this using the abstract framework of reservoir/echo state networks and envision applications both in neuroscience and machine learning. Your Profile: Suitable candidates should have - a Master degree or Diplom in physics, mathematics, computer science or comparable subjects, - excellent mathematical and coding skills (e.g., Python, C++), in particular: -- solid knowledge about linear algebra, differential equations and dynamical systems as well as their numerical simulation, -- basic knowledge in machine learning and optimization as well as computational neuroscience, - good skills in scientific communication (including proficiency in English), - the ability to self-organize and independently solve problems, - and the motivation to perform leading-edge research in a lively, multidisciplinary research environment Optimally, you also have first experiences with - echo state networks and reservoir computing - stochastic processes - information theory - using GPUs for fast computing The Göttingen Campus is a leading center of neuroscience in Europe hosting numerous internationally renowned research institutions, including the University and its Medical Center, the three life science Max Planck Institutes, the European Neuroscience Institute, the German Primate Center, and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) Göttingen. The PhD candidate should enroll into the Göttingen Graduate School for Neuroscience, Biophysics and Molecular Bioscience to profit from their excellent training and supervision infrastructure. The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women.

Computational neuroscientist positions at Nathan Kline Institute
by Neymotin, Samuel (NKI) Dec. 18, 2023

Dec. 18, 2023

Several postdoctoral scientist positions are available at the Nathan Kline Institute (NKI) for Psychiatric Research (https://www.nki.rfmh.org<https://www.nki.rfmh.org/>) to work on computational neuroscience research funded by NIH and DoD grants. NKI offers the scientists a highly interdisciplinary environment spanning research at cutting-edge electrophysiology labs, high-performance computing for computational neuroscience, and human fMRI behavioral experiments and data analysis. The funded grants at NKI involve collaborations with leading research institutions including Columbia, The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, University of Texas, SUNY Downstate, University of Tennessee, Carnegie Mellon University, Brown, and Stanford. Our NIH-funded projects rely on recently developed, detailed biophysical circuit models of the auditory system. Postdocs will use the models to investigate the brain's dynamic circuit motifs underlying internal vs. external-oriented processes in the auditory and interconnected brain areas. Postdocs will build upon models constrained by electrophysiology data and use the models to devise neuromodulation strategies for inducing/suppressing circuit dynamics, testable in vivo. NKI also has NIMH funding to investigate the origin of electrophysiological biomarkers observed in the auditory system of animal models of schizophrenia (mismatch negativity, altered oscillatory patterns), and using modeling to predict circuit-level origins and treatments. An additional NIH-funded BRAIN award uses modeling of the auditory system to optimize new DISC electrodes developed by our colleagues at UTexas, which could dramatically improve brain computer interfaces. Our DoD projects involve developing computational models of the hippocampal and entorhinal cortex circuits used in spatial navigation, higher level decision making circuits including prefrontal cortex, and integrating these circuit models with agents learning to solve spatial navigation tasks using neurobiologically-inspired learning rules. Postdocs will also integrate these models with basal ganglia models that weigh evidence/context for improved decision-making (developed by colleagues at CMU). Postdocs will also work with applied mathematicians and data scientists at University of Tennessee to use topological data analysis to improve understanding the structure and representations of neuronal circuits used in spatial reasoning, facilitated through detailed circuit modeling. Postdocs will also have the opportunity to collaborate with Army Research Lab computational neuroscientists and mathematicians, with the ultimate aim of using the models developed to improve human-agent teaming. Applicants should have a strong background in: multiscale neural modeling using NEURON/NetPyNE, Python software development, neural/electrophysiology data analysis, machine learning, software development, writing/presenting research, and applying for grants. To apply for positions, email a CV and cover letter to Sam Neymotin (samuel.neymotin(a)nki.rfmh.org) The position requires presence at NKI (Orangeburg, New York), with part-time telecommuting allowed. ________________________________ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This e-mail is meant only for the use of the intended recipient.

M2 internship on bifurcation detection at Institut de Neuroscience des Systèmes (INS) Marseille, France.
by DEPANNEMAECKER Damien Dec. 18, 2023

Dec. 18, 2023

Dear all, Could you please forward the announcement below to any interested and motivated students? Thanks a lot Damien Depannemaecker M2 internship on bifurcation detection Brief description: For causal estimation in brain pathological conditions, models offer crucial insights into neurophysiological mechanisms. Model-based inference involves constructing a statistical or mechanistic model that captures the essential features of the data-generating process. In this context, simulation-based inference (SBI) using deep neural networks provides an invertible map between parameters and data features. Therefore, there is a need to automatically extract the low-dimensional informative data features, to train the neural networks, the so-called Normalizing-Flows. In this project, our goal is to utilize machine learning algorithms to provide input into the SBI pipeline. The data for this project will be, simulated data from models at different scales and corresponding electrophysiological data such as patch-clamp and intracranial stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) recordings. The objective is to classify seizure onset and bifurcation patterns from the complex biophysical models. The trainee will benefit from the support of the various skills available within our teams. When: For 5 months, the starting date is flexible in the first semester of 2024. Where: Institut de Neuroscience des Systèmes (INS) Théoretical Neuroscience Group (TNG) Faculté de Medécine, Aix-Marseille Université, 27, Boulevard Jean Moulin, 13005 Marseille, France How to Apply: Send a CV, motivation letter, and two letters of recommendation to: meysam.hashemi(a)univ-amu.fr damien.depannemaecker(a)univ-amu.fr marmaduke.woodman(a)univ-amu.fr

Fully Funded PhD Position in Theoretical Neuroscience at Donders Institute in the group of Federico Stella
by Stella, F. (Federico) Dec. 17, 2023

Dec. 17, 2023

A fully-funded 4-year PhD position in the group of Federico Stella at Donders Institute in Nijmegen, NL is now available. I have recently started my own group at Radboud University and in the context of my research in theoretical neuroscience I am currently looking for a PhD student starting as early as possible in 2024. The project will focus on the computational investigation of the role of neural reactivations in memory. Since their discovery neural reactivations happening during sleep have emerged as an exceptional tool to investigate the process of memory formation in the brain. This phenomenon has been mostly associated with the hippocampus, an area known for its role in the processing of new memories and their initial storage. Continuous advancements in data acquisition techniques are giving us an unprecedented access to the activity of large-scale networks during sleep, in the hippocampus and in other cortical regions. At the same time, our theoretical understanding of the computations underlying neural reactivations and more in general memory representations, has only began to take shape. Combining mathematical modeling of neural networks and analysis of existing dataset, we will address some key aspects of this phenomenon such as: 1) The role of different sleep phases in regulating the reactivation process and in modulating the evolution of a memory trace. 2) The relationship of hippocampal reactivations to the process of (semantic) learning and knowledge generalization. 3) The relevance of reactivation statistical properties for learning in cortico-hippocampal networks. The successful candidate will carry out their studies at the Donders Institute of Radboud University in Nijmegen. The project will expose the student to a highly interdisciplinary context, rich in experimental and theoretical expertise. Moreover the project will take place in the context of a wider range of scientific collaborations already established in the lab. The ideal candidate has a strong interest in neuroscience; a background in theoretical physics, math or similar quantitative disciplines (familiarity with statistical mechanics and/or dynamical systems is very welcomed); and some degree of computational and programming skills (ideally, knowledge of Matlab and/or Python) The ideal candidate must also be able to carry out their work in an independent, and highly collaborative manner. The starting date is flexible but should be in the first part of 2024. Interested candidates should submit their application to Federico Stella (federico.stella(a)donders.ru.nl) before 14th of January including a CV and a research interest statement. Interviews with short-listed candidates will be held online later in January 2024.
