PhD Position - Multi-Scale Data-Driven Model of Synaptic Function
and Resilience
The aim of this PhD project is to build a multi-scale model linking
molecular renewal to functional properties of synapses to study the
relationship between synaptic resilience and the reliability of
synaptic responses. The work primarily involves mathematical
modeling and numerical simulation, but also the analysis of
experimental datasets for model validation.
The position is offered in the team of Dr. Johanna Senk at the
Institute for Advanced Simulation - Computational and Systems
Neuroscience IAS-6, https://go.fzj.de/future-simulation-architectures
in the context of the Collaborative Research Centre
(Sonderforschungsbereich) 1286 https://www.sfb1286.de and in
close collaboration with Universitätsmedizin Göttingen, Germany, and
the University of Sussex, UK. There is also an opportunity for a
research stay at the University of Sussex.

Informal
enquiries about this opportunity are highly encouraged and can
be sent to Dr. Johanna Senk
