CompSci is a Doctoral Programme launched and managed by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oslo (UiO). It is partly funded by the EU Horizon 2020 under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) - Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programmes (COFUND). The CompSci Doctoral Program will recruit 32 PhDs in two calls. In this Call, we open for applications to the 1st cohort of 16 PhD fellowship positions, that will join our PhD programme starting autumn 2021 at UiO.

The possible PhD-projects span over a wide range of topics where methods from computational science are applied to different fields in the natural sciences:

• Bio-inspired neural networks for navigation
  Supervisors: Anders Malthe-Sørenssen, Gaute T. Einevoll
• Large-scale recordings of neurons to reveal mechanisms of learning and memory
  Supervisors: Marianne Fyhn, Anders Malthe-Sørenssen
• Large-scale network simulations of mouse visual cortex
  Supervisors: Gaute T. Einevoll, Marianne Fyhn
• Modelling systems levels changes in brain aging induced by genome instability
  Supervisors: Hilde Nilsen, Gaute T. Einevoll
