we currently have an open post-doctoral position for a neuroinformatician in Marseille, France. You will find the ad below, feel free to diffuse it to potentially interested candidates:
Neuroinformatician/Mathematical
modeler
TNG Team, Institute of System Neuroscience (INS), Marseille, FRANCE
A post-doctoral position is open in the Theoretical Neurosciences Group (TNG) directed by Viktor JIRSA at the Institute of System Neuroscience (INS) for
an experienced computational neuroscientist to work in modeling brain
networks with the aim of creating individual Virtual Patient dementia models
using The Virtual Brain platform as framework (see
http://www.thevirtualbrain.org). This research project will be conducted in the
context of the Aetionomy European consortium (IMI).
Qualification
Candidates must be highly motivated to work on an interdisciplinary project
and collaborate with the various members of the consortium. They should have a PhD
degree in computational neuroscience, mathematical modeling or equivalent level
of knowledge. A strong background in data fitting (Bayesian approaches,
Dynamical Causal Modeling (DCM), Monte Carlo techniques) will be highly
appreciated. Candidates must be comfortable working in computational environments and possess excellent programming skills. Experience
with The Virtual Brain platform would be considered an advantage.
The Theoretical Neuroscience group
We are a multi-national team interested in understanding
the
mechanisms underlying the spatiotemporal organization of large-scale brain
networks. Our work comprises mathematical and computational modeling of
large-scale network dynamics and human brain imaging data, the development of
neuroinformatics tools for studying large-scale brain networks applied to
concrete functions, dysfunctions (epilepsy, dementia) and aging.
Terms of salary and employment
A 12-month renewable contract will be established. Salary will depend on
the diploma and experience. Operating language in the laboratory
is English.
Applications including a cover letter, curriculum vitae and the names of two referees should be sent by September 30th 2016 to: Dr. Irene Yujnovsky at irene.yujnovsky@univ-amu.frMore information about the INS and the Theoretical Neurosciences Group
Thank you very much,
Irene Yujnovsky
