post-doc position offer on computational analysis of neuroimaging data
by GILSON Matthieu Sept. 13, 2023

Sept. 13, 2023

URL REFERENCE: https://matthieugilson.eu/positions/Post-Doc_neuroimaging_biomarkers.html JOB TITLE Post-doctorate position to study diagnosis of multimodal neuroimaging data for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis RESEARCH FIELDS Data Science, Neuroimaging, Neurology, Computational Neuroscience PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project aims to develop and test prediction tools for clinical diagnosis from neuroimaging data, with pipelines covering data preprocessing and machine-learning representational techniques. The focus is on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a rare neurodegenerative disease for which no efficient treatment exists. A particular goal is to test the possibility of stratifying ALS patients in subtypes with slow versus fast disease progression. It is based on a dataset of 30 ALS patients and matched controls, acquired on 7T and 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, which is currently being extended. Specifically, this dataset involves advanced MRI techniques that are promising for neurodegenerative diseases: quantitative and sodium MRI modalities, in addition to usual structural and functional MRI. We thus plan to build a multimodal prediction pipeline such as to test the combination of distinct types of MRI data (graph/network fusion) for clinical prediction. It also includes an international collaboration and aims to compare ALS datasets acquired in different centers. The position lies at the intersection between clinical research in a hospital and a neuroscience laboratory, aiming to bridge the different research cultures from both sides. We provide an interdisciplinary environment with a team of experts in the following fields: • computational neuroscience with Matthieu Gilson (https://matthieugilson.eu) and Xenia Kobeleva (https://xenia-kobeleva.com/) • MRI techniques with Wafaa Zaaraoui (https://crmbm.univ-amu.fr/contact/zaaraoui-wafaa) • neurology with Aude-Marie Grapperon (https://loop.frontiersin.org/people/593696) and again Xenia Kobeleva. JOB OFFER The position consists of 2 contracts for a total duration of 18 months (full time, 35 hours / week), because of combining two sources of funding. The monthly net salary is between 2000 to 2500 euros depending on previous working experience. The work place is at the Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone (INT, https://int.univ-amu.fr) and Center for Magnetic Resonance in Biology and Medicine (CRMBM, https://crmbm.univ-amu.fr) both part of Aix-Marseille University (France). Start date: October 2023 REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS AND PROFESSIONAL SKILLS We are looking for a candidate that can demonstrate sufficient experience at the PhD level and knowledge in data analysis for neuroscientific data for reaching the project objectives. We seek profiles with solid programming skills in Python (or an equivalent language) combined with a background in the field of neurology. Experience in clinical neuroimaging, markers for neuropathologies and/or computational neuroscience will be favored. Additionally, experience with working in a interdisciplinary team and interest for open science are desired. Women are strongly encouraged to apply. The candidates will also be evaluated on their motivation, with respect to all steps of the process from data acquisition to analysis and scientific communication. CONTACT AND REQUESTED DOCUMENTS Please send a curriculum vitae summarizing your academic and professional trajectory, as well as a motivation letter, to: matthieu.gilson(a)univ-amu.fr -- Matthieu Gilson Chaire de Professeur Junior Aix-Marseille Université Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone https://matthieugilson.eu

Sept. 12, 2023

*** SAVE THE DATES *** From Animals to Animats 17: The 17th International Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB 2024) When: September 9-12, 2024 Where: The University of California, Irvine, Irvine CA, USA Website: https://sites.uci.edu/sab2024/ The Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB) interdisciplinary conference brings together researchers in artificial intelligence, artificial life, computer science, cybernetics, ethology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, robotics, and many other fields, to further our understanding of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow natural animals and artificial agents to adapt and survive in complex, dynamic and uncertain environments. Animats denote the connection between animals and synthetic agents. The conference focuses on models and experiments designed to help characterize and compare various organizational principles and architectures underlying adaptive behavior in real animals and in animats. SAB 2024 solicits contributions dealing with any aspect of adaptive behavior. We especially invite submissions from researchers who connect biology and natural behavior to synthetic agents. Conference papers are peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published in “From Animals to Animats 17. SAB 2024.” Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest are: - Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Life, and Computational neuroscience o Action selection, behavioral sequencing o Communication and language o Emotion and motivation o Internal models and representations o Reinforcement learning o Sensory-motor coordination, motor control o Software agents and virtual creatures - Philosophical Issues o Consciousness o Ethics o Mind/Body problem - Robotics o Autonomous robotics o Bio-inspired and hybrid robotics o Cognitive robotics o Developmental robotics o Humanoid robotics o Navigation and mapping o Neurorobotics - Self-Organizing Systems o Body and brain co-evolution o Collective and social behavior o Dynamical systems approaches o Evolutionary and co-evolutionary approaches o Self-assembling and self-replication IMPORTANT DATES (tentative): Paper submission deadline: April 1, 2024 Workshop and Tutorial proposals submission deadline: April 15, 2024 Notice of acceptance: June 30, 2024 Camera-ready papers: July 15, 2024 Conference dates: • Workshops and Tutorials: September 9, 2024 • Main Conference: September 10-12, 2024 ABOUT THE SAB CONFERENCE: SAB started in 1990 (Paris, 24-28 September 1990). After years of great success, SAB has given birth to numerous other conferences (on genetics algorithms, reinforcement learning, swarm intelligence, bio-inspired systems, developmental robotics, etc.). In the forthcoming 17th edition, we want to both celebrate this prior success and expand into trending research areas. Since SAB is held every two years, we want to strengthen the conference as a place to discuss the new trends in all relevant areas from the people bringing breakthrough ideas and results. SAB will continue to have a single-track format, to propose self-critical, thought-provoking, and nurturing discussions among specialists in each area as well as with specialists in other areas, so that the conference will both present the state of the art and inspire new ideas at the cutting edge of science. As steps in this direction, this year we will have a broad range of invited speakers to discuss both, longstanding topics in SAB, and the new trends in (and the future of) the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior. The conference will be held at the CalIT2 Auditorium on the UC Irvine Campus (https://www.calit2.uci.edu) We look forward to welcoming you at SAB 2024!

Postdoc position in Bilbao on open-ended network self-organization
by Miguel Aguilera Sept. 1, 2023

Sept. 1, 2023

Hi all, We are offering one postdoc position on self-organized network modelling at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics in Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain) under the supervision of MIguel Aguilera. DETAILS: **Postdoctoral Fellow on open-ended, self-organized, bio-inspired networks** Topics: One of the outstanding challenges in modelling living and cognitive systems is to capture their ability to continuously adapt and develop. Our behavioural responses are not fixed but driven instead by a complex ecology, composed of myriads of fluid and inconspicuous neurodynamical patterns that have slowly grown on us. AI models like neural networks can capture complex behaviours, but often this open-ended, liquid and ongoing reconfiguration is incredibly challenging to reproduce with static topologies. In contrast, liquid neural networks (or 'liquid brains') are a widespread class of networks with a particular feature: nodes (which may represent 'neurons' or 'agents' and typically all share identical rules) not only process information from neighbour nodes, but they also dynamically modify their network connections, e.g. by moving in space. These networks show how neural-like processing typically associated with static physiological networks can also emerge from fluid collective interaction, dynamically exploring configuration spaces beyond standard connection weight changes. Examples of this kind of model include collective decision-making and fluctuations in ant colonies or idiotypic cascades in immune networks. Objective: The aim of this project is to develop a theory of learning in liquid brains, focused on two aspects: 1) How do liquid brains learn? How is this process different from static neural networks?, and 2) what is the adaptive potential of liquid brains when they are embodied as an agent in interaction with a changing external environment? Answering these questions has the potential to extend the idea of liquid brains from a theoretically deep and intriguing concept to a useful tool available to the machine learning community. Specifically, liquid brains could afford more open-ended, self-improving systems, exploiting fluid reconfiguration of nodes as an adaptive dimension which is generally unexplored. This could also allow modes of learning that avoid catastrophic forgetting, as reconfigurations in the network are based on reversible movement patterns. In terms of technology transfer, this advances can also have important implications for new paradigms like edge computing. PI in charge: Miguel Aguilera <https://maguilera.net/> Salary and conditions: The gross annual salary of the Fellowship will be 29.120€ - 35.360€ according to experience. Additionally, we offer a moving allowance up to 2.000€. Should the researcher have a family at the time of recruitment: 1. 2.000€ gross in a single payment will be offered (you must be married-official register or with children and the certificate to prove it must be sent). 2. 1.200€ gross per year/per child (up to 2 children) will be offered (the certificate to prove it must be sent). Contract and offer: 1 + 1 years Deadline: 8TH September 2023, 14:00 CET How to apply: Applications must be submitted on-line at: https://joboffers.bcamath.org/apply/ic2023-08-postdoctoral-fellow-in-open-e… **Scientific Profile Requested** Requirements: PhD in Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Maths, Artificial Intelligence, Computational Neuroscience and related fields. Skills and track-record: * Modelling experience with complex or neural network models, e.g. Hopfield networks, Ising models, Boltzmann machines, sandpile models, flock/swarm/insect colony models. * Solid programming skills * Analytical study of stochastic processes * Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative research team. * Ability to present and publish research outcomes in spoken (talks) and written (papers) form. * Fluency in spoken and written English.
