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).
