We are looking for a PhD candidate in Computational Neuroscience
with a strong background in theoretical physics, specifically in
stochastic processes, to work on effective descriptions of temporal
and spatial correlations in recurrent networks of spiking neurons.
Funding is provided for three years, starting October 2016, through
the international research training group IRTG 1740 "Dynamical
Phenomena in Complex Networks: Fundamentals and Applications". Part
of this program is a (minimum six month) stay in the lab of our
collaborator in Brazil, Prof. Roque (FFCLRP, Universidade de Sao
Paulo).
For details on the doctoral examination process at the Physics
Department of Humboldt University Berlin, see https://fakultaeten.hu-berlin.de/en/mnf/wisskar/promotionen/index_html?set_language=en.
Please, send your application until July 31, 2016 to Nikola Schrenk
(nikola.schrenk@bccn-berlin.de)
and to me (benjamin.lindner@physik.hu-berlin.de).
