Prof. Sen Cheng, Institute
for Neural Computation at the Ruhr
University Bochum in Germany, invites applicants for the
position of Doctoral Fellow in
Computational Neuroscience.
The
work will focus on studying
the interaction between neocortex
and hippocampus using
spiking
neural network models.
The
position
is part of the project
"Theory of the interplay between sensory cortices and
hippocampus in memory formation and retrieval", which
is
funded by the German Research Foundation as part of the
collaborative
research center SFB 874. The
position
is funded from
01.07.2019 - 30.06.2022
(TV-L E13 65%).
Candidates
should have an excellent university degree in neuroscience, physics,
mathematics, engineering or a related field and be eligible to
enroll
in a relevant PhD program at the Ruhr University. Competence in
mathematical modeling and
excellent programming skills are
mandatory. Familiarity with computational
neuroscience or computational cognitive
modeling would be a further asset.
The
Ruhr University Bochum is home to a vibrant research community in
neuroscience
and
cognitive science.
The
Institute for Neural Computation is an independent research unit
and
combines different areas of expertise ranging from experimental
and
theoretical
neuroscience
to
machine learning and
robotics. For
further information see www.rub.de/cns.
