Dear Colleagues, We're pleased to announce a postdoctoral position within the Computational Systems Neuroscience Group (CSNG) at Charles University, Prague, focusing on computational neuroscience and neuro-prosthetic system design. CSNG is an international, interdisciplinary research group that explores the intricacies of the visual system, sensory coding, and neuro-prosthetic solutions. To do this, we use a range of computational approaches spanning large-scale biologically detailed spiking network models, firing-rate models of development, and modern machine learning techniques. We are a diverse team of computer scientists, physicists, mathematicians, and engineers dedicated to understanding visual perception and its restoration via neuro-prosthetic devices. Multiple project topics are available (the exact topic can be adjusted to the interest and background of the applicant): - Modeling electrical stimulation in a spiking model of the primary visual cortex. The goal of this project is to understand how intra-cortical stimulation engages the neural code of the visual cortex. - Deep-neural networks in visual neuroscience and possibly its applications for understanding of visual perception under artificial cortical stimulation. - Study of cortical dynamics of spontaneous or artificially evoked activity in the visual cortex. - Biologically detailed spiking large-scale models of early visual cortical pathway - from Retina to V4. Requirements: Strong computational and analytical skills. Experience in computational modeling, spiking neural networks, machine learning or understanding of electric field propagation in biological mediums are of great advantage but not all strictly required. Duration: 1 year contract with possibility of extension. The position is fully funded at least until the end of 2028. Funding: Fully funded Starting date: now Teaching duties: None Monthly salary (gross): ~2900€ To apply, send CV and cover letter explaining your interest and how your skills align with our project to: antolik@ksvi.mff.cuni.cz
