Engineer/Post-doc
in Computational Neuroscience
Institute
of System
Neuroscience (INS), UMR1106 AMU-Inserm,
Marseille, FRANCE
An
engineer/post-doctoral
position
is open in the Theoretical Neuroscience Group
(TNG)
directed by Viktor JIRSA at the Institute of System Neuroscience
(INS) for
an experienced computational neuroscientist to work in modeling
brain
networks with the aim of creating individual Virtual Patient
epilepsy models
using The Virtual Brain platform as framework (see
http://www.thevirtualbrain.org).
Qualification
Candidates
must be highly motivated to work on an interdisciplinary project
and collaborate with the various members of the group and with
clinicians. They
should have a degree in computational neuroscience, engineering
or equivalent
level of knowledge. A strong background in computational
neuroscience
(networks, dynamic system theory) and/or data fitting (Bayesian
approaches,
Dynamical Causal Modeling (DCM), Monte Carlo techniques) will be
highly
appreciated. Candidates
must be comfortable working in computational environments and possess excellent
programming skills. Experience
using The Virtual Brain platform and development of clinical
databases would be
considered an advantage.
The
Theoretical Neuroscience
group
We
are a multi-national team interested in understanding
the
mechanisms underlying the spatiotemporal organization of
large-scale brain
networks. Our work comprises mathematical and computational
modeling of
large-scale network dynamics and human brain imaging data, the
development of
neuroinformatics tools for studying large-scale brain networks
applied to
concrete functions, dysfunctions (epilepsy, dementia) and aging.
Terms
of salary and employment
A
12-month renewable contract will be established. Salary will
depend on
the diploma and experience. Operating
language in the laboratory
is English.
Applications including a cover letter, curriculum vitae and the names of two referees should be sent by December 31st 2016 to: Dr. Irene Yujnovsky at irene.yujnovsky@univ-amu.fr
