Institut de Neurobiologie de la Méditerranée (INMED), Aix-Marseille University

The Neural computation and dynamics group led by Lorenzo Fontolan is seeking a postdoc and a Ph.D. student to join the lab. The projects are funded by the Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI) at Aix-Marseille University, France. 

The selected candidates will develop computational models of brain circuits and/or cutting-edge analysis tools for the analysis of neural data, drawing inspiration from dynamical systems, physics, statistics, and machine learning. Research questions can be chosen from a range of topics – such as neural dynamics, neural coding, memory & learning, biophysics of the neuron. The Fontolan lab collaborates with local and international research groups employing advanced experimental techniques such as calcium imaging, optogenetics, and in vivo electrophysiology.

The positions are funded by The Turing Center for Living Systems (CENTURI), an interdisciplinary center that aims at deciphering the complexity of biological systems, gathering researchers from 20 different research institutes in biology, physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering.

The recruited candidates will conduct their project at the Institut de Neurobiologie de la Méditerranée (Inmed). Inmed, which accommodates more than 130 international researchers, is located inside the beautiful Luminy site of the Parc National des Calanques (Marseille). The Fontolan lab is also affiliated with the Center for Theoretical Physics here in Marseille.

Requirements:
Candidates with backgrounds in physics, mathematics, statistics, machine learning, computer science, and engineering are welcome to apply. The candidate should possess good mathematical and coding skills, plus the ability to think critically.

In the Fontolan lab we are committed to creating an inclusive environment open to individuals from different cultures, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds.

Candidates should send a CV, a statement of interests, and expected date of availability to:
lorenzo.fontolan@inserm.fr
