We are looking for two postdocs to work on deep learning-inspired computational neuroscience at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom.

 

There are a number of exciting topics that you could contribute to:

 

  1. Neuromodulated cortex-wide credit assignment
  2. Subcortical facilitation of cortical learning
  3. Theories of self-supervised learning in cortical circuits

 

There are also opportunities to collaborate closely with leading cellular, systems and cellular neuroscientists, but also deep learning researchers.

 

Successful candidates should have:

   - a strong quantitative background

   - keen interest in neuroscience

   - obtained (or be close to) a PhD in computational neuroscience, machine learning, physics, mathematics, computer science or similar.

   - ability to work in a strongly collaborative and interdisciplinary field

 

Please express your interest by sending your cv and a brief statement of research interests to rui.costa@bristol.ac.uk
