The laboratory of Dr. Martin Vinck at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute (ESI) for Neuroscience in Cooperation with Max Planck Society is seeking candidates for Ph.D. positions.
Students will work on two classes of problems. First,
we aim to solve various methodological / neurostatistical problems for offline
and on-line, closed-loop analysis of multivariate neuroscience datasets.
Second, we are developing models of visual cortex in order to test specific
hypotheses about the relationship between cortical dynamics and computation.
PhD students will work together with experimental neuroscientists and apply
methods and models to experimental datasets from primate and rodent animal
models, including electrophysiological and calcium imaging data. We are
primarily looking for students with training in a quantitative discipline (physics, engineering, computer science etc.).
Interested candidates are invited to send their application materials in electronic form (PDF format) to martin.vinck@esi-frankfurt.de
Applications should contain a letter of intent, a detailed curriculum vitae, lists of university courses completed with marks obtained, and the names of at least two scientists who can give references. The advertisement will be valid until positions are filled.
