PhD program in Systems/Computational/Cognitive neuroscience at U of Oregon

by Luca Mazzucato

We are accepting applications to the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Graduate Program (INGP) <https://ion.uoregon.edu/training-programs/graduate-fellows> at the Institute of Neuroscience, a robust graduate training in Neuroscience across departments at the University of Oregon. The goal of INGP is to train students to think independently, creatively, and critically about problems in neuroscience. We aim to train students in a variety of skills that will prepare students for successful research, teaching, policy, or industry career. Students can enter INGP through the departments of biology, human physiology, psychology, mathematics, physics, computer and information science, and the Knight Campus, depending on their interests. The majority of our students enter through the department of biology, which allows students to complete three rotations during their first year, in order to help students identify a laboratory in which to do their dissertation research. Students who enter through psychology, physiology, and mathematics begin in their dissertation labs immediately. Regardless of how students enter INGP, they are provided with a set of mentors at the peer and faculty levels. All graduate students are required to teach for at least one academic year during their graduate career; at least a portion of this teaching takes place the first year. *Training Program* Students typically fall into a defined training program, however, training can be tailored to fit a student’s need and research interest. We offer two training tracks: Systems, Cognitive and Theoretical - Courses: cellular neuroscience, systems neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, combinatorics, stochastic processes, neural networks. - Journal clubs: systems neuroscience, theoretical neuroscience. - Meetings: neural circuits and behavior, zebrafish groupie, joint theory lab meetings.

INCF/OCNS SoftwareWG Dev session: Denis Alevi: Brian2CUDA: November 3, 2022, 1600 UTC over Zoom

by Ankur Sinha

Dear all, Please join us for our next dev session on Brian2CUDA: https://ocns.github.io/SoftwareWG/2022/10/18/dev-session-denis-alevi-brian2… Denis Alevi will introduce the Brian2CUDA tool in this session, and discuss its development. We will also have a discussion on GPU based simulation in neuroscience after the presentation. - Date: Thursday, November 3, 2022, 1600 UTC (Click here to see your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Dev+session%3A+De…) - Location (Zoom, login required): https://ucl.zoom.us/j/95692778384?pwd=VldIQ3hPTU1zczNpYjQxSSt4Z25xdz09 The abstract for the talk is below: Graphics processing units (GPUs) are widely available and have been used with great success to accelerate scientific computing in the last decade. These advances, however, are often not available to researchers interested in simulating spiking neural networks, but lacking the technical knowledge to write the necessary low-level code. Writing low-level code is not necessary when using the popular Brian simulator, which provides a framework to generate efficient CPU code from high-level model definitions in Python. Here, we present Brian2CUDA, an open-source software that extends the Brian simulator with a GPU backend. Our implementation generates efficient code for the numerical integration of neuronal states and for the propagation of synaptic events on GPUs, making use of their massively parallel arithmetic capabilities. We benchmark the performance improvements of our software for several model types and find that it can accelerate simulations by up to three orders of magnitude compared to Brian’s CPU backend. Currently, Brian2CUDA is the only package that supports Brian’s full feature set on GPUs, including arbitrary neuron and synapse models, plasticity rules, and heterogeneous delays. When comparing its performance with Brian2GeNN, another GPU-based backend for the Brian simulator with fewer features, we find that Brian2CUDA gives comparable speedups, while being typically slower for small and faster for large networks. By combining the flexibility of the Brian simulator with the simulation speed of GPUs, Brian2CUDA enables researchers to efficiently simulate spiking neural networks with minimal effort and thereby makes the advancements of GPU computing available to a larger audience of neuroscientists.

Upcoming Faculty Opening in Theoretical Neuroscience

by Lin, I-Chun

The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit intends to recruit one Principal Investigator in Theoretical Neuroscience at any academic rank (UCL grades 8 to 10; Lecturer/Group Leader-level to Professorial). We seek candidates who focus on the mathematical underpinnings of adaptive intelligent behaviour in animals or develop mathematical tools and models to understand how neural circuits and systems function. We are particularly interested in researchers who are well placed to take advantage of collaborations within the unit; with our sister institute, the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour; and elsewhere at UCL. Gatsby faculty members pursue and develop their own lines of research within the broad remit of the unit’s focus on the mathematical principles of learning, perception and action in brains and machines. For an overview of our current work, please see www.ucl.ac.uk/gatsby/research-0<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/gatsby/research-0>. We maintain a singular and cohesive research culture, emphasising interaction and collaboration both within the unit and beyond. Our faculty members teach and supervise at graduate level, primarily as part of the unit’s international PhD programme. We encourage informal enquiries about this upcoming position. Interest from women and those from an ethnic minority background is particularly welcome, as they are under-represented within UCL at these levels. Please direct enquiries to I-Chun Lin (Scientific Programme Manager, i.lin at ucl.ac.uk). We will be best placed to respond to enquiries that include a short CV and a brief sketch of research interests. www.ucl.ac.uk/gatsby/vacancies<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/gatsby/vacancies> -- I-Chun Lin, PhD Scientific Programme Manager Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, UCL www.ucl.ac.uk/gatsby<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/gatsby> | @GatsbyUCL<https://twitter.com/GatsbyUCL>
